I've got 6-7 months of unemployment/ part-time work ahead of me so I've decided to give this ultracycling thing a go, for better or worse. Didn't make it into the TCR (aim high right?) so I've signed up for the NorthCape4000 (Turin -> North Cape in Norway), and now the clock is ticking to get my rig set up and tested before the summer.
I'm thinking of going with the saddle/frame/bar bag combination, possibly with a top tube bag for food. Are there in stores around London that stock a range of bikepacking gear? It would be nice to compare some of the bags in the flesh, I've been scrawling through reviews and comparisons and not really getting anywhere.
