Recommend me a route... Baden Baden-Milan-Rotterdam

[Gingerbiker67]

Hi

Too much choice...help me out with suggestions/ advice!

Next Wednesday evening I will be in, or near, Baden Baden- I plan to book a small hotel for the night, after a ride down from Rotterdam that morning.

Baden Baden leads me to the B500. As long as I am in Milan by Friday mid afternoon, I can go wherever you recommend as I travel across the Alps, spending a night somewhere along the way. Again probably a cheap(ish) hotel. No off road!

Leaving Milan on Sunday mid afternoon, I plan to head towards Mont Blanc before making it to Rotterdam for the Tuesday evening Ferry back to Hull. Back at work in the North East, by Wednesday lunchtime!

I understand the first and last days will probably be long/ autobahn days, but time away is limited. My daughter is at a dance comp in Milan, travelling with Mrs Gingerbiker and her other teammates, so I have the excuse for a mini solo adventure but do have to be there (Milan) Friday till Sunday. A shame I have to be back at work on Wednesday, as the Tour de France is nearby... if only I had another day in Spain.

So out of all the many routes I can take, what would you recommend?

Thanks
I’ll check out those suggestions against my rough plan tomorrow.
I think part of my challenge around planning is establishing just how long each section will take, specifically estimating average speed.

So after a flyer from work had a great ride down to Hull for the overnight ferry to Rotterdam. Hope the weather is as good on the continent as it is here!
