Hi Simon,
Because i use a selfmade trolly...and all the weight goes on that,i don't need to fear my Baron breaks down...except a few flat tires.A 150km a day is easy duable on the Baron...you just cycle from morning to evening,with plenty of brakes.Do get a Gps on batteries,they are great...woudnt go without one anymore....i had the Garmin etrex vista for 200 euro's...and got maps for free from p2p.
I still had wrong peddles...my feet would really hurt after a 100km,next time its flat normal peddles for me...nomore click on's or sharp edged ones.And i was lucky with only one evening and night rain,i made a rain cover for the bike...but i coudnt really ride with it.
I live in Holland...and this time i went down Germany to Swiss...over the Alps to Italy...along the Cote D'azur to Marseille and then all way back up to Paris..and then along coast of Belgium back to Holland.I had only so many days...and was stunned i made it,felt bit like a race though....some days i did 200km....170km....other days a 150,one resting day i did only 40,i got so tired.
They went wild over my bike in Italy...don't know what it is,but the Baron is some sexy bike...specialy in countries where they never see a recumbent bike.
Last summer i did a 7000km to Sweden,Denmark,Germany...and after a rest to England and Ireland. I dont go really fast,trolly weights 20-30 kilo's..on a warm day i got 4 liters of water or so with me.It just because it's so comfertable...i can ride all day and make a lot of kilometers.
Cycling is fun because you cover every meter with your own sweat...and so see all the changes in the country and the people really stay with you.It amazing how different all the countries are in Europe.
Oh yes, and i would just camp in the wild,wash myself with half liter water and sometimes take shower at a camping. I had few T-shirts and shorts...i would handwash and leave to dry on my bike.I spended about 10 euro's a day on food and all kinds.
