Following my dramas on my 400 I completed my first 600 at the weekend, the North Coast Classic. It was tough, lots of climbing, mostly in the first half, but I managed to get a sleep at John O Groats.
I'm gradually refining my clothing and fuelling strategies and my emergency supplies. Changed my chain a few days beforehand. No punctures at all, carried more tubes, patches, emergency boots and for good measure a spare tyre. However I either need a bigger bag or to ditch some of the stuff I'm already carrying and carry some more clothes. With temperature differences from about 3 to 17 degrees at the weekend I need plenty of options.
