Firstly I hope there isnt a similar thread to this, couldnt find it anyway..
Now I will(I hope) be doing my first audax next month and of course I have chosen to do it fixed, two reasons: 1 I dont own a geared bike 2 So many people have told me I cant do it fixed I have to try.
It is the Wicklow 200(Ireland), it is a one day event which is what gets me thinking on what I need to and dont need to bring, if it was longer I would have no problem knowing what to pack.
Since I havent done much long distance rides before my carrying equipment is limited to a small(ish) saddlebag and a messenger bag(ruled out for this).
Also nutrition for the day would have to be included.
I dont think im the only one wondering these things so your input would be appreciated.
