Okay, prior to scott's request, this is what I have planned insofar for the Cumbria ride (Dan did the map).
The first day will be 220 kilometres to Derby, which is why I suddenly become more aware of the item I'll be carrying, I need to average 15mph.
The good news is that it's only 3 days, which mean no need for camping stove, extra "evening wear" clothes (which is basically a kaki trouser and crumpled up shirt), spare part (like extra battery for light).
The bad news is that I'll be carrying some hefty photography equipment to documents Dan's ride to the Lake District, if I were to documents it, I need to do it properly, and of course, the headband that MotherGirl want me to wear.
The Moulton have the necessary luggage minus the handlebar bag I've yet to get, it also a perfect fast touring bicycle being able to carry the weight vertically instead of having panniers;
Cutting down equipment was surprisingly easier than I though, I've already done such thing in the past, such as bringing one spare inner tube, and insert all the patches inside the inner tube, then wrap the tyres lever/glue on it;
Pump is a trusty Zefal, I said 'trusty', this is the 3rd one, but they were the cheapest and lightest pump money can buy (85G).
Lock is another concern, I'm not taking the Evo Mini as despite it's strength, weight too much, so I'll be taking this alarmed padlock and the skinnest cable out there, not strong but the 120dB should be a deterrent enough.
Still hasn't finish packing though, so will post more soon.
