London to Rome Route? - 07/29/07 08:19 PM
Hi,
I'm RIchard, 22years from the UK. I'm cycling London to Rome in late August and into September for three weeks.
Do you know of a good route or places to visit on the way???
I'm going solo but if your interested in joining me just say.
Cheers
RIch

Hi Richard,
between London and Rom you'll find a lot of beautiful places, towns and landscapes. It is difficult to give you an advise. Have you an idea which route you wants to take?
ciao Petra

Hello,
the Dutch cyclist Hans Reitsma did Amsterdam-Rome. Maybe that's interesting for you:

I was thinking of following the VIA FRANCIGENA
You can find info at

Hi RIch,
do you already have guidebooks and maps?
I think 3 weeks is by far not enough time for this route. It's a MTB route of 2270 km (
Via Francigena in MTB)
Best wishes

I have a few maps and general cycle touring books of france in the post but haven't had the chance to look at them yet.
On the time issue though, I only have three weeks so I haven't got much choice! It will be by road though.
Cheers
Rich

Hallo Richard,
in France every shop has plans of the area. Take Michelin or ign. The Netherlands are also god organized. For la swizzera look at veloland.ch.
Last year I made a tour in northern France. I liked it very.
