Dry run with the panniers

Today we had a dry run of packing. Good job too I packed my two panniers and with the lock I had gone over my limit of 10kg!! Time for some re-jigging - swapped shoes for flip flops and coat for light fleece, then decided to only take two sets of bike clothes rather than 3 and managed to get it down to 9kg, phew. Having a quick run later to see what the extra weight is like - although I have managed to lose about 1 stone since I bought the bike, so hopefully will be OK :) Sanj x

I think my clothes have grown- I too struggled to pack my saddlebag despite having packed it previously. Four attempts later and I can now do the straps up. I shall hopefully have a short ride tomorrow with saddlebag and barbag packed to see how the bike handles. Mary

Sussex bike ride

Had a gorgeous 60 mile ride around the Sussex countryside today both trying out new shoes I am sure mine made me go faster 3 weeks to go :D Sanj
