...update. Just taken delivery of my new tent, so I decided to try a fully-loaded test ride, packing all the gear on my kit list for forthcoming touring plans. Quite impressed with the spare capacity in the Ortlieb panniers, even after getting all my camping gear and cooking gear in. I took this pic at the top of a 17% gradient hill, to test whether I think my compact double gearing (34/50 up front, 11-32 on the back) is up to the task, and I'm pretty confident it will be. Also the bluebells were looking nice.
