Top tip- dont crash on the "10%" on Pleney, stay clipped in and break your knee. It wont enhance your holiday :-/

Make sure you pipe lag your frame, remove discs, undo calipers and bubblewrap, fix sturdy plastic where your hubs rub up against your wheelbags. Put a a few layers of cardboard in your bag too.
The baggage people stack dozens of heavy bags on your bike when they unload. I had two different frames damaged on consecutive years. Insurance didn't cover it and that really smarts!
