I've only just planned to CP 2. Concentrated too much on gear acquisition and fitness and not enough on this crucial element.
Far more work getting a decent route than I ever anticipated. Much care needed not to find yourself on a banned road or dual carriage way. Heat maps are great but often find that the majority are taking bike paths and I can't work out whether the bike path is a proper disused Railway line bike path or whether it's a London spec bike path.
Plenty of time though right?
I'm somewhere halfway in Czechia with my route planning. Proper time sink :) But gear and training is almost done so got the whole weekend and next week to plan my route.
