Apparently all you need for two months away cycling?

Only two days to go! "Finalised" the kit I am taking now....finalised is in quotation marks as to be honest there are still things I am questioning that are not in there but could be, and things that made the cut but shouldn't have. There is more about what I am taking on The Rig page. 

It is all about being as light as possible though while still having some creature comforts for along the way. I have also worked on the assumption that I will never be too far away from a bike shop, accommodation or food source - so light touring, not ultralight touring this time. 

Also went on one last soaking wet bunch ride with Bikelab this morning for the hearty few who turned up (or is that the stupid few?). A nice wee ride in the rain to wake you up on a Saturday morning never goes astray. 

Hopefully soon enough the winter weather will be behind me and the rides will be filled with windless, dry and cool days in the saddle - dreams are free right?
