This Schedule is based on a average speed of 17 km per hour (10 mph)to accommodate the worst case scenario.
We fully expect some to ride at a faster pace and will be far ahead of the schedule. All stops and rests are optional.
Each rider will have a daily route description, enabling all cyclist’s to feel independent to go ahead or rest and allow time to regroup.
Where possible ferry’s will be booked for the vehicles.
