  • I'm doing it! On this bike.

    Might add some cranks, a chain etc. for improved functionality. I'm doing it with a couple of mates who've done it before, so trusting them to guide me round. One said a CX bike was fine, but he's also done it on an MTB and is taking an MTB this year. I think we're camping then night before.

  • 100 miles on a balance bike!

    So vanilla.

    My choice is a 29er with gears and bouncy forks that I am not sure is comfy for more than a couple of hours at a time, and currently has no rack or bikepacking bags; or a 3 speed Pompino with rack and basket and 32c slick tyres. Mate's choice is audax type bike with 32cs or full bouncy MTB plus rucksack. I feel like we are probs leaning towards MTBs, having previously had to walk bikes a long way when our tyres were too slick and narrow.

    Is 100 miles a long way off road? It feels like it to me. I'm assuming a fair amount of it will be sort-of-roads.

  • Liking the look of this! I've some brown grips going cheap if you need some. Search 'odyssey' grips and they should show up.
