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.
 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?  Cheers Guys and Gals

Re: 1st Half Decent Trip On Bike
Your nether regions may be telling you it's time to get off and stretch by then but otherwise it will be fine.

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

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