Its only 7 days til I'll be back on the bike and trekking across another country (well, two technically) on my way from John O'Groats to Lands End.
I've put my new bike together and given her a few test rides with weighted panniers on and she rides well. The geometry is very much similar to my old Pinarello frame that took me across the states, so it handles in pretty much the same way. Its a slightly more compact frame, so my knees get a bit closer to the handlebars and I sit in more of an upright position (better for touring) but that's about all the noticeable difference.
Now to find the rest of my touring gear!
