We're doing Dover/ Calais. The prospect of cycling around London to Dover was too much, though, so the British leg will be by train.

From experience I know that walking with 30lb on my back is much harder than just carrying a picnic so I will assume that cycling with a x lbs must take a similar toll.
How much weight do you carry Mike? And what do you expect your longest day to be?
I am looking an electric bike for my daughter and it seems for a fit cyclist who would not need to use the motor all the time the batteries should easily cope with 60 miles in a day. OK if BnBing, more of a struggle if camping.

100Km per day is nice easy riding. Except the mountains........
