Paris to Barcelona - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

lpg · 29th May 2007

I've been thinking about some sort of mediterranean bike trip for a while. Sometime in June or July. Paris to Barcelona?

The only bike i have is a track bike, so i think i'll have to put road drops on it with a more forgiving saddle.

Has anybody done this kind of trip before? Was thinking of the route on GoogleEarth

Well paris brest paris is 1200km and has a 90 hour time limit so give your self 100 hours (due to the hills) and you should be fine ;)

Seriously you can always rig up some sort of rack with some inginuity so why not sound like a blast.

Alright, buddha? I dunno, the route is about 600 miles. 120 miles per day? Did you come on the London to Brighton?
