You two wind me up. I’m doing a quick DIY 200 on the 17th and I’m packed!
I'm told that my new bike will definitely be here on Wednesday, in time for me to catch the ferry that evening.
New chain (with 100+km on it now), 12-25 cassette with 1928km on it, new rear tyre (GP4000), new rim tape on both wheels, newish rear brake blocks, new FD cable.I changed my chain, fitted a new tyre and bled my brakes today. Biggest question is whether I pack a pair of bib tights or go for shorts only.

Everyone's different but I think bib tights would be much less flexible than shorts and knee warmers (which is what I'll have). I am riding over so have to make these sorts of decisions before (Devon) departure: I cannot leave it till 'next Sunday'. In many ways this (forced decision) is a good thing. My choice would only be between knee warmers and leg warmers. Knee warmers were good enough for me on the overnight of the Easter Arrow, but YMMV. Similar issue is overboots (given the rain we'll enjoy) versus toe thingies, versus nothing. Given the rain is warm and I'm planning to be sleeping most of the cooler dark hours (apart from riding through Sunday night), I think I'll be going for 'nothing'.
I just hope that there'll be a decent percentage of mudguarded wheels to follow.

If it stays in double figures centigrade I wont need them.
