• Scott I must says, don't you think you have taken too much stuff? granted I has yet to do the DD, but you seemed to be the only one I saw going OTT with luggage!

    Like i said...i was supposed to be riding back too and i was carrying some stuff for two people.
    I used every bit of clothing i had after Rosie and I got soaked on the beach and needed to wear dry, warm clothes for the return journey.
    The saddle bag had all the clothes, flask, wet wipes, spare energy drink powder....the frame bags had energy gels, energy bars, spare tubes for two people, full tool kit.
    I also really wanted to test these bags properly...having done the DD before, and knowing how i burn calories and how cold i get, i wasn't about to run out of food or dry clothes again like i did in 2007.
    I'd rather carry too much stuff than not enough every time.
