Today is final day before I set off – needless-to-say I was promptly swamped in things needing to be done urgently online – so spent 8.45-13.15 sat at the computer… then I had to see if everything would fit onto my bike. A rough dry run a while ago had said yes, but I needed to test with both my non-biking clothes and the biking clothes in the panniers. It is a tight squeeze when everything except sunny bike clothing is put in, but as can be seen below, it does all fit. Fully loaded the bike weighs in at 35 kg – add that to my slightly overweight 95 kg and you get an idea of what needs to be propelled uphill and down dale – and what my brakes need to be able to stop!
Set off on the train tomorrow…..


You will need the sunny bike clothes down here, it’s lovely.

Well done Mark. We’ll be thinking about you. Hope you managed to pack a few munchie bars. You’ll be burning a lot of calories😋
