Hi guys,

Just after a bit of advice here. I'm planning to bugger off for about 3-4 days on the bike for a bit of scenery and decent road riding. I'm looking at just taking a light rucksack with me and stopping after a days ride at a pub/B&B. Living in stroud (near gloster), i was planning on heading into wales and sort of heading northish, then cutting across south of liverpool, across to the east coast and back over the course of the 3-4 days i have. What sort of mileage do you reckon i could do in a day? I know that depends on how fast i go Very Happy , but just looking at getting the balance right between a good days ride, and busting me gonads to get to a B&B in the middle of the night! Anyone on here done a similar sort of trip? Any suggestions on biker-friendly B&B's??
Cheers,
Salvatore

Probably could do between 250 & 300 miles a day and still see the sights or interesting places.
I usually do about 5 hours riding a day and would probably go to Aberystwyth then on to somewhere in Snowdonia for the 1st day. Accross to Matlock Bath, taking in Cat & Fiddle, ending up at Kings Lynn. Down to Eastbourne area then home.

More than likely a lousy route, but I would google interesting places along the way and look for the little b roads. That little round trip is only just over 700 miles, but you could add to it with detours.

Kings Lynn to Eastbourne is a rubbish route. A long way and you have to get around london.
I'd do wales and the the peaks in your position. Not so many miles but more relaxing Karma
