1st Half Decent Trip On Bike
 

On Monday i'll be doing my first attempt at some decent range on the bike. I am going from Chesterfield to Whitby with some guys I know.:p

It's about 100 miles each way. Is there anything I should take into consideration which will be different to my normal 40 mile weekend runabout?

Anything extra I should take with me other than cash?


:salut:Cheers Guys and Gals:salut:

No different to your 40 mile runabout except more miles. You don't need anything else than what you normally take with you.
Jeez 40 miles a weekend? That must give you about half an hour on the bike :)

Your nether regions may be telling you it's time to get off and stretch by then but otherwise it will be fine.

My commute involves more than 115 miles a day, can't say i ever thought about what i should carry. Just enjoy your riding

Re: 1st Half Decent Trip On Bike
 

Commute here is about 10 miles. Whenever I go out for a ride I normally do 80 miles at least... can't do any less than that! :p

There is no difference to riding 100 miles than there is 40..

^ werd :p

I'd say just keep the usual tools under your seat, usual checks before you go and don't worry about things. :p Have fun.
