Girls can't do long bike trips. Sad fact of life.

ok seriously, can you define 'learner' ie time riding and overall distance travelled?

Things I found most helpful for long group bike trips was to do several day trips gradually increasing the distance. For me I started at about 170km on a trip and pushed that up to ~350k's.
I worked in breaks every ~80km, which I also pushed up to abot 120kms in a sitting.

Then again maybe you shouldn't take advice from me. I did a 200km group ride 3 weeks after I got my bike

I wrote this else where but yeah,,
Ive done AK to Welly while ago.

Id say most important thing is comfort, make sure you are comfortable on the bikes with All weather gears,, make sure your cell phone stays alive too.

below is me from previous post
"ended up with bugs ALL over me.. not a biggy, arm-ache, backache, cramps,, on that sports bike.. use go cruise throttle control if you can on motorways, bigger bike than 250 would be less vibration etc etc more comfortable.. my mate told me he almost fell asleep so yeah ride fresh, take it easy slow, I remember lot of pain here and there haha.. have top box or saddle bags,, Id say do it, its fun, and if you want to enjoy the trip stop by at lots of places rather than sticking your head down and riding straight to the destination."

and the cold weather ain't gona help either !

Too many close quote tags. It's starting to do my head in.
That's it. I'm walking away.

Did i mention warm?

Oh and dry too, Warm and dry.
That way it will prolly be nice and unseasonally warm and dry and you'll feel like a giant retard arriving all rugged up lol.
