Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is where i should be posting this but here goes anyway. I'm from the UK and myself and a few friends have planned to do a 215 mile bikride this summer along the Trans pennine trail, it leads from the west english coast, all the way to the east. We are raising money and gaining sponsorship for the British Heart Foundation, but I suppose i want some expert opinions on what gear we should be taking on our bikeride. It's a 7 day bikeride, which means were looking to be doing about 30 miles a day (give or take). Our route will take us on numerous different pathways, some tarmacced, some rough.

In summary, I'd like to know your various opinions on the gear we should be taking with us, to be safe and make sure we can complete it.

Thanks in advance,
Jon.
