France is really nice to cycle through. A few summers ago i did Calais to St Malo over about a week. Basically riding for about 8 hours a day by myself. As soon as it started to go twilight, i would just stop at the next campsite i came to... which was only ever a few Km's away.
Looking to ride europe again this year if people fancy getting together and doing a group ride.
Edit - Did this on an old peugeot that i had equipped with a combination of deore and 105. With the smallest pannier bags i could find, tent and sleeping back on top and tent poles along the top tube.
I didnt plan a route before hand, still didnt know where i would be headed when i was on the ferry. Best way to do it i feel. I started heading in a general paris direction, ended up taking a wrong turn which took me west rather than south and spent the next few days cycling along the coast of normandie buying michelin maps along the way.
