Hi

We are a group of Irish cyclists whjo intend to do a charity cycle from Ireland to Berlin next summer.

Our planned route is Ferry to England - cycle to Hull - ferry to Rotterdam - cycle to berlin. We will all use road bikes, and our av speed will be 25~30 kph.

My questions are:

Is it feasible to use the cycle paths in Holland/Germany at these speeds?
Are they the shortest routes - or are there alternatives?
By law, must you use the cycle paths in Holland/Germany?

Any help with these queries - and anything related, if you have opinions - would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
