Bike Ready To Rumble! Well, nearly

Bike serviced, luggage on and ready to rumble! Well that's not strictly true, I still have to fix the back light on and figure out exactly how I'm going to get all my luggage into my luggage compartments which combined only equal 14 litres capacity - not a lot for a 17 day, 1,300 miles of road.

The big question is - will my Swalble Marathon plus tyres do the job? Only time will tell.

My favourite item on the bike is the French horn - I'm gonna have fun with that annoying the rest of the group but thinking about it I'd better keep that to a minimum.

I splashed out on an Ortilieb Front carrier with a Altura Bag on the back (apparantly waterproof but just to make sure I've put a luminous waterproof cover over it from Decathlon.

I'm gonna have a hoot on this trip haha
