So...I'm thinking about doing a ride just under 300 miles on fixed! It will be my first ride over 50 miles and need some advice.
[ulist]
[li]I am planning on doing it over 3 days with 2 nights in a b&b, does this sound normal? more/less?
Any advice on what the absolute essentials are and how to cut down on weight?
Any advice on bags? I can borrow a PAC bag if that would be best.
Will armadillos be good for puncture resistance or will my arse eventually pay the price?
Still on the arse issue... can anyone suggest a good seat for doing this kind of ride.
Clothing?[/li]
