Or another option for those who don't want to tour but have fun days out blatting around great roads.
A, pick a region off a Michelin map that has lots of green scenic routes.
B, go online and find a hotel that suits somewhere in the middle of the region.
C, hire a long wheelbase high roof van with two mates, load three bikes and all the clothes/riding gear you might need and drive straight to hotel.
D, next morning get up have breakfast then have a day out riding a pre planned route following all those green roads.
Get back to hotel for dinner and beer.
E, next day do it all again
Not the cheapest way I know, but my preferred method as I don't really like "touring" with loads of luggage on the bike.
I love it because it's like Sunday morning blast's that last all day on fantastic roads.
