Torino - Nice in September

[steveindenmark]

I hope to be riding the Torino - Nice Rally in September. 700km, half off road, half on road. Some of the off road is hike a bike.

I have never owned an MTB before but decided one would be useful for a winter bike and for the rally.

I bought a Giant fathom MTB today and am hoping it will fill the bill.

Nice looking bike Steve!

Any plans or modifications to it before you go?

I pick it up on Saturday and so have not really ridden it yet. This will be my first Mtb.

Usually, the saddle and tyres get swapped on my bikes but we will see. It is for bike packing and so I may need a frame bag. But this will be my cheap and cheerful bike.
