planning first century.......what do i need?

[thunderlips76]

so it's our first century from castleford to weatherby, on to knarsborough, ripley, glasshouses, leatherly, back to weatherby and then back to castleford. wondering what to take to keep things light. And also anyone know of any gadgets that will keep my iphone going as i record the ride on sweet sweet starva.

Good shorts, back up battery pack, cash for lunch and cake breaks

Given the weather, probably a brolly. Why do you need to travel light?

You might find strava works better than starva

Are you packing a dummy as well?

no, ok i'll do it naked on a penny farthing

 

[vickster]

Pump, patches, lights

And it's STRAva . Starva is maybe what you should do if you're fat?

Which iPhone is it? My 6 will do 100+ miles running Strava and still have 30%+ battery left, and I don't turn data or anything off.

Multitool with a chain breaker, spare link (KMC or SRAM).

Don't forget the overshoes!. Wet cold feet with 70 miles to go can be avoided to some extent.
