Well I don't think I'm a cycling nut, just enjoy a nice ridecogcontrol said:....and yes you do have to be a certified cycle nut to contemplate such a ride.
I've only got a road bike (OCR1), and a mountain bike. In what ways is a tourer more comfortable than a road bike? Just asking as I've never actually riden one. Or course my attitude is if you can go faster, then thats less time spent on the bike anyway...if I'm a tad misguided let me knowComtemplate getting a suitable bike, more tourer than road bike for the long distance comfort. It MAY be a bit slower but in the long run you are better off.
I've got no problems riding at any time, well I'd prefer not riding when its pissing down, but its not a massive issue with me.Get into the mental attitude that enables you to contemplate getting out on your bike for at least 100km at any time of the day or night and in any weather conditions. You may not actually get out but the fact you can deal with that concept without throwing up your hands in horror means you are some way to the mental preparedness.
