Nantes to Palermo tour 2009

two friends currently riding through europe to get to spain and then cross to africa
one guy just got injured after doing a couple of 100 mile days so there is another piece of advice dont over stretch your self

also camelbacks are great you get a constant steady rehydration much better than the sudden blasts you get from bottles. better for your body and it allows your body to better regulate your water intake it uses it more effectivly

I use a camel back type thing when MTBing and love it, however I do need to clean it regularly even though I only use water, I'd imagine it would be hard on tour.
