    Slow bloke on a slow bike whose longest day has been 400 miles in 8
    hours and needs to stop every 100 miles to knock various knackered
    joints back into place.

    Splitting it over two days would be more sensible, no?

    err, yes. It is a bloody long way to Prague from Rotterdam, probably 500
    miles on unfamiliar roads, the signs are not always easy to understand,
    especially on large junctions.
    Definitely a couple of hundred miles, then rest/sleep is my
    recommendation.

  3. Probably,

    If you go the route I've done a couple of times - Arnhem - Dortmund -
    Kassel - Gera - Chemnitz - Louny - Prague - it may be do-able. That route is
    around 560 miles, but I wouldn't try it without an up to date map/satnav as
    the roads may have changed from when I did it about 6 years ago. To make it
    comfortable I'd make it a 2 dayer.

    629 miles according to MS Autoroute, via Frankfurt & Nuremberg.

    Quite feasible in a day with an earlyish start. Especially as a lot will be
    on unrestricted autobahns. Stretch your stops out to 125 miles and it's 5
    easy chunks.

    Personally, I'd take a more scenic route over a day or two via Saxony,
    Thuringen & the Harz mountains.

    It could be done but I'd stop in the UKRM hotel of choice (1) about
    halfway there.

    (1) We did a large chunk of the trip you're looking at when we did the
    mowm earlier this year and found a really good hotel.

    You could do it in a day in a car, no worries.

    I've done 1200 miles in 17 (driving) hrs before now, with kip breaks
    taking it out to 24 hrs elapsed.
