Also I came into this thread to ask if there were any good resources to read for an introduction to touring? What kind of kit you need etc.
Neither my GF nor I have ever been touring before but I've always fancied it. Now, in preparation for my 30th birthday my GF has suggested we go touring somewhere in the UK (probably west coast scotland) this summer.
I think we'd plan to stay in B&Bs, and we wouldn't go for that long, however neither of us have touring bikes. I've got a road, TT and fixed rat bike, the GF has a road bike and SS rat. I'm a stronger rider than her so maybe I should take the Rat (which has a rear rack) and she could take her road bike. Any thoughts and tips for first time tourists?
