I've entered the London Sightseer. Will be on fixed again as it's my only bike. Need to get a route sheet handlebar mount and a bottle cage. Don't fancy getting dehydrated again.
Thanks for the FWC tips Greenbank. I'm going to get those points in the bank. I also want to do a DIY London to Brighton. I did one a couple of weeks ago as a training ride but only read about doing DIY routes later on. It was 97km from my house to my friend's house in Brighton. I didn't do Ditchling but Devil's Dyke but still didn't make it up the hill.
Anyone use GPS devices? I liked the route sheet but you sort of get focused on that more than the ride like you have very short controls. I've been recommended the Garmin Edge 800 but at £300 it's over my budget. I've seen some Etrex Vista HCx going 2nd hand for about £70 on ebay. Thoughts?
