AFR19 - Routes Planned

Only a fortnight to go and we will be off on the short run down through France to Alençon and our hotel for the MotoGP weekend in Le Mans.

I had a look at some routes to put into my TomTom. I copied them from Neill's MyRouteApp and then renamed them for my TomTom (with the AFR19 from end)  and added a fuel stop.

With no tolls specified on the unit and in MyRouteApp it looks about 226 miles each way.  At cruising speed of say 70mph I'd expect the Rocket to need a fuel stop at around 170 miles, so I needed to add one stop.  This is based on me having a full tank before getting on the Eurotunnel train at the UK end and filling up at the Carrefour in Alençon after Sunday's racing.

The no tolls route still uses sections of Autoroutes between Calais and Rouen but these are the free sections and then national roads thereafter.  With speed limits vastly reduced on national and departmental roads that should do wonders for fuel consumption whilst adding a lot of time to the journeys.

Currently the routes are simply A to B and maybe there will be something to to "see" on the way and the route will need modifying.
