I did 100km (60 mi) this weekend and I am bound to add a couple more longer days to that before the end of August. And from Marseille to Rome is a little under 1000 km (600 mi). I'm not sure I will reach 1000 miles before that but then again, I don't really want to have to buy new tyres before leaving on tour though I will probably order a spare.

Just bought the train ticket to Marseille this weekend. A little over 6 hours by train in one go from Rotterdam central station. Only 10 minutes by bike or perhaps I will take it all packed up by tram, metro or have it picked up beforehand and delivered to my destination in France.
Will have to look into the best way back (and expect some "rinko" content in this thread beforehand) but that will either be by train, plane or bus.

How are you liking them so far? I ran them at 3 bar (43 psi) this weekend and that felt good.
