Nice suggestion Marco!!!

But I'd rather get the Eurostar. You can get really far on that and its quick too.

I'm talking Alps or Pyrenees.

Even Italy.

[quote="marco"]If I was doing it now I would take

no rack
no panniers

instead:
a bar bag with
a small lock
small maps
a pair of lightweight trainers or sandals
a pair of baggy shorts and a pair of pants
a light fleece (instead of wearing a dedicated cycle jacket)
a toothbrush and small toothpaste

Id take a saddlebag with
spare tubes & allen keys, chain tool, spokekey, tyre levers, insulating tape

Between a group I would also hope for
big roll of Duct tape
small first aid kit

Paul maybe in the future I might attempt it
