CZ16 - Route to Czech

I have had a look in a bit more depth now that we have booked hotels on the way out to Brno.

To cut down the second and third days a little so that we arrive at a decent time in Czech on the Friday afternoon I built in the overnight in Gent.  

Day 1 - I can easily have the Thursday off to get ready and leave but Neill may be working.  According to Tyre/Google Maps from my house to Gent is around 134 miles.  So I reckon a Shuttle no later than 1800, and earlier if possible, is the way to go. When you add the hour time difference on it starts to look like a very late arrival.

Day 2 - this is a longer day,  that Tyre reckons is over 400 miles and around six and a half hours in the saddle. We'll need to look at fuel stops as the Rocket has a range of about 200 miles at 70mph.

The third day is a shorter day but as a lot of it is on the Czech motorway system so a bit of an unknown quantity. The D1 was from Prague to Brno was terrible the last time we used it. The constant hammering it gets from thousands of trucks has made it very bumpy.

We shall see.
