.....two panniers, loaded with gear, ready for a three-day bike ride.

See you later.

Three day bike ride---All you need is Wedge under the saddle and an extra Bottle on the bike

Hope you haven't forgotten the extra food- the extra tubes- the full tool kit in case of emergencies- The 4 changes of cycle clothing- the Goretex for when it rains- the showerproof for light rain- the Fleece for the cool days and The phone for when you need a lift home. You have to be prepared for rides like this.


Enjoy yourself and Don't forget to stop plenty for the photo shots.

Last time something exciting happened in my bedroom, I wasn't there.
Have a good ride. And report when you get back.

I'm disappointed! From the thread title I expected at least a new cycle.

I think the OP is spending too much time with his bike.
