This is admittedly a pain, because it doesn;t allow you to deviate from your route or timeline. But it does give you a guaranteed place to sleep each night, just so long as you can get to your destination at the end of each day. So, when it comes to planning out your distances, it is a good idea not to get too crazy. If you try and plan a super long day, then you risk not being able to reach your destination at the end of the day. Traveling cyclists usually go about 50-60 miles in a single day, but if this is your first bike tour or your are cycling through especially mountainous areas, you should plan to do only 30-40 miles per day (at least at the beginning of your trip). With that information, you should be able to plan out your route, find lodging every 30-60 miles, and schedule out each day of your trip. It takes a lot of work, but if you want to have a guaranteed place to sleep each night, it is totally worth it. I hope that answers your question. If no, comment again and I'll try and explain a bit further.

I dont know if this is the right place for this question, but i wil ask anyway ;-) I am planning my trip, but i dont know how i can calculate the time i will use to each destination. I mean do you know how many km you are going to pedal every day, the reason i ask this question is because if i plan to buy plain,campground,boat tickets before i start my trip, then i would maby miss them. I read your book how to get free lodging, and you had planned out every they before you trip, so i wanna know how you do that :-) Thanks for all the good information :-) Hi darren !
