We are a group of Vietnamese and Australian (4 or 5 in 40s and 50s) , who is THINKING about 2-3weeks cycle exploration of Vietnam, from Saigon and ends in Hanoi in November or October 2011 (Saigon-Hue and NinhBinh-Hanoi about 1200kms - possible skipping Hue to Thanh-Hoa)
- mainly highway 1A or secondary roads along coastline (Saigon-Hue and NinhBinh-Hanoi about 1200kms - Hue to NinhBinh is optional)
- average 100kms/day and 1 rest-day/ 2-3 cycle days.
We know how crazy traffic in Vietnam, and safety is our most concerned
We will need a support van - this van will follow and support us (20-30kms/hour), BUT this means we will obstruct the traffic.
Will this cause any problem with local authorities/traffic police ? - Do we need a permit or something ?
(we are just a group of armature cyclists, who try to explore Vietnam by cycling)
Thanks for any tips of cycling in Vietnam.
