london to spain bike ride advice please

[aqaleigh]

hi
i am new to this site and have recently returned to cycling after several years away from the sport.
i am undertaking an unaided ride next summer from london to alicante (spain) for CANCER RESEARCH and hope to acheive this in approx 12 days.
The total mileage is around 950 and i am currently completing around 80-100 miles a week training and maxing at 50 miles in a single ride (around 4 hrs)
i am looking for advice on all aspects of touring especially the best routes through west france and if it is possible to just "wing it" with regards to sleeping arrangements etc.
ALL ADVICE OR SUGGESTIONS WELCOME
HELP PLEASE
thanks
leigh

Hi Leigh,

I hope you get the advice you need on here, there is an excellent touring section and it is worth reading most if not all of it

Your question might be best asked (or moved by a mod) in there.

Good luck with the ride
