Hey all,

I'm doing a 100 + mile-ish ride at the end of this month. The route will mainly be road but will be incorporating into it some rather steep long hills and a bit of off road and dirt tracks.

The ride will be done over 2 days with camping thrown in between, so i'll need a little bit of kit.

Anyway, i have 2 bikes;

a mountain bike with full suspension, really thick off road tyres and it was very expensive, unfortunatley i am unable to attach panniers to this due to the frame being uncompatible.

my other bike is a town and trail bike, which has no suspension, slickish thin tyres and was very cheap, but i am able to fit panniers onto this.

Anyone got any advice???

Thanks

If the plan is to go 50 out, camp, then 50 back, I say ride the one that can handle the bags. You can do 50 miles on just about anything.

....easy, I said "just about".... ;^)
