Off to West Flanders tomorrow to cycle round in circles for a couple of weeks. Anyone got any recommendations for places to visit? Should I be looking up a picture of Freddy Maertens so I don’t make a tit of myself in the Ronde museum??

Soz man, but my little one will be less than 3 months old and we’re away at a wedding the weekend before, and watching England India at the ageas the week after for 2days. As sound as the TV is, that’d be taking the piss

Quite excited now. Weather looks flipping great. Not sure what extras to take over my 300 set up, which was:

  • too much food
  • spare tube, multitool, patch kit, tyre levers, quick link in saddle bag
  • mini pump
  • charger
  • front and rear lights (might take a spare front light)
  • jacket
  • antiseptic wipes and a few plasters and pills

Think I will also need:

  • warm gear for night riding (gloves, another layer? weather looks like lows of 9 degrees on Saturday morning and then into Sunday morning… think I’ll get away with knee warmers?)
  • at least another tube
  • quite want to take a toothbrush and paste but this might be a bit much

Depends on how warm you get. 9°c used to be knee warmers and normal jersey, or arm warmers at a push.

I’d say you’d need a little more food than you would on a 300km. An extra tube, spare light/batteries, change of base layer maybe.

#9799

change of base layer’s a good one. my jacket is dead good and breathable (rapha, obv) so that’ll do for wet weather gear / an extra night-time layer i guess. i’ll probably take some chamois cream too.

planning on taking a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. fed up of fake food. luckily food (a proper meal!) is included at three of the controls, plus the start/end.

Seem to remember that being one of the first bits of advice I gave you, eat normal stuff.

a Penge dude and another guy got their biked nicked at the last control last year :confused:
