First of all, I'm not bragging about how far I ride, I'm giving a rough idea of my current capability. This time last year I couldn't ride 10 miles without coughing up shit. Now I've got fitter and I'm proud to say I can ride 50 miles on a social ride.
Secondly, thanks everyone for the feedback, wasn't expecting this much! I think I'm going to try out carrying my weight on my bag, as it seems to be highly recommended. The only worry is that I'm going to have to stretch my money to fund spare tubes, a B&B (Not camping to save hassle with a tent) and other things, so if I bought a carridice/pannier style bags, I'd have to get cheap second hand ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
