Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.
I am planning a journey some time in February/March providing weather conditions permit. This journey will be as the title says, from Durham to somewhere in the Lakes.
Basically I will be riding with my brother and a few mates, a team of around 5. We're wanting to ride there and back so may stop a day or two to rest. Can anyone advise me on the essentials for the trip?
I'm thinking:
Typical bike repair/maintenance kit from bike shop
Inner tube
Allen Keys
Torches
Batteries for the lights
Decent Lights
Power bars (or some high carb and low sugar foods)
waterproofs.
I've done 100 miles so far, I have the helmet and gloves etc. - I don't have any cycle clothing just yet, waiting for a sale somewhere cos I'm tight ;-)
Can anyone give me advice on the kit to take, the clothing to wear and the roads to travel on?
The trip will contribute greatly to my 1k goal
