Received my new set of panniers today. 1st task is to glue my PassPixi sign to one, followed by the South African flag embroidered badges 😊
The brand name is West Biking (a Chinese company) and the panniers appear to be of good quality, with welded seams, but time will tell.
After a few months of use I'll do a full review on https://www.WillCycle.com

Here's my review of the Zefal T3 top tube bag. I've extensively road-tested this when I cycled the bottom 1/2 of the Wild Atlantic Way

In 2 weeks' time, I'm cycling the North Devon coast. I've cycled many parts of Devon, but the only times that included anywhere in North Devon was the times I cycled Devon C2C.
I'm really looking forward to the ride! Camping on the Friday & Saturday night, as there are train strikes on the Saturday, meaning I have to travel up on the Friday instead.

I've just plotted a route through the Alps for my son, that avoids as many hills as possible.

I feel unclean.

Trawling through my updated Brighton Bimble route. Now 101 miles, it a loop starting and ending in Crawley, going through Brighton.
The plan is to ride it over 3 days. Sure, it's possible to do it quicker, but #CycleTouring is best done slowly, stopping often, with plenty of pub stops.
Currently scouting for places to wild camp within stumbling distance from a pub.

If you wanted an adventure and see Cornwall like never before, then this ride is for you! Fair warning - it's a challenging route, but SO worth it!
You still have time to ride it before summer is over.

What's that? You're thinking of going #cycletouring, but don't know how to start?
I have the answer! Just Google "cycle touring for beginners" and click on the top link.
Pass it on, so others can benefit too!

Bought a cheap set of tri-bars from Wiggle, then realised (only when they were delivered) that you can't use risers with them, to raise the position. Thankfully, Wiggle didn't argue about returns.
Mine's a touring bike and I'm not after any aero advantage. Instead, I'm after a way to take weight off my wrists on longer rides. The risers are needed to maintain a relaxed position.
