Today we’re cycling from Luton to Cambridge! Our ride was scheduled for 60kms but due to detours, road conditions and wrong turns we ended up cycling 75kms! After this day we just wanted to stay in bed and rest.
Hope this doesn't come across as mansplaining 😂 -What routing app are you using? If you use Komoot and set to bike touring when plotting a route it will try and keep you away from busy roads -Just a suggestion from me after 7-8 bike tours since 2017. When buying food that you can eat whereever you like for lunch, I try to buy it at say 11AM-12PM, and then eat it when I come across somewhere picturesque ideally with a bench. It makes the experience much more enjoyable for me. Obviously this depends on the weather, how you're feeling and whether you're willing to carry the supplies around for a few miles. What I do know is I try to avoid eating lunch right next to a busy road, and some of my favourite cycle holiday moments have came from pedalling my lunch up a hill and then finding a stunning view at the top of the hill. I distinctly remember this happened up in the Scottish Highlands. Will you be going up there? It's beautiful 👌The North Coast 500 route is fantastic.
