thought id post my experience of longer ride i did recently because this could help newbees.

i had to get an altura luminos jacket for the colder evnings in evans so looked on the website and the nearest one was in waterloo at the cut. this ment a longer ride from E9 london fields down across the river. the ride is much easier now my seatpost is fixed properly and i dont have to stand up.

for this i had a bottle holder on my carbolight frame and i recomend that all riders carry a bottle of sugary drink i use ribena. i also took a bag this was useflu to put all the things i needed in the bag especially some food in case i got tired.

beofre leaving i checked the locatioon of sandwich shops along the route pret is very good for this so that i could stop and refule if necessary. there is a pret at bishopgate where i stoped on the way home to rest before the last push. i found the falafal sandwich was very good and the smoothies range is very refreshign after a ride of this distance.

when ig ot there i felt a little tired but my preparations paid off. if you are thinking of doing this sort of riding i recommned you take food and drink. it was worth going far to evans for the excellent service levels. ten out of ten.

how do you post pics + i have pics of this ride i can post?
