I've found the cheap tool to undo Shimano pedals. Now just need about £20 more of items to get free delivery
The tools not that cheap if you put it in that context
Have you got an 'ass saver' mudguard? You can never have enough pairs of socks too!
At about this time before the ride last year I bought a smaller more lightweight saddle bag for multi-tool, innertube etc - which was both silly with regards weight saved and pretty pointless to take at all as there was very thorough mechanical support throughout if I did get a puncture anyway!So has anyone made any un essential purchases just because of the Wales trip... I just ordered a pair of new mitts even though I have a few perfectly good pairs...
Ok, I'm bored and babysitting too if that's an excuse
How far apart are the food stop Paul?Personally, if I was to do it again I'd also only take one 750ml water bottle (plus some electrolyte tabs) as I found the food stops regular enough for topping up one bottle and so pretty much lugged a full but unused water bottle up all the hills. I might not drink quite as much as some though so that might not suit everyone
Not sure Andy - I can only remember stopping at 3, but I know we purposely skipped one (the one doing baked potatoes etc for lunch - none of us wanted to stop for that long for "proper" food at that stage in the ride), so maybe there were 4 in total? Possibly 5. Which suggests they were about every 20 or 25 miles or so.How far apart are the food stop Paul?
@CXRAndy - I've just checked their website and if you have a look at the routes here - https://www.county-cycles.com/doubledevil - the 121 mile route has 4 foodstops at 25, 44, 73 and 104 miles.How far apart are the food stop Paul?

Sorry to hear that TB
I'm out.
I've just been lumbered with on call over the bank holiday weekend. The guy that should be doing it is off sick and I'm the only one available, everyone else is either coming off of call or on booked holiday away from the area.
Sorry gents
