It's taken 18 months for me to recover my confidence after being hit by a tin pushing prick who caused a broken arm and ankle, and 3 years after yet another prang that wasn't my fault either that resulted in a broken collar bone. So, I'm heading off for 10 days to see whether I'm up for a 5-6 week tour later this year. CC touring, although I still think that I'm carrying too much, but I know that what I'm taking works.

  1. I like how faded your Arkel handlebar bag is. It has clearly been out there. That speaks to a lot of time on the road.

    Welcome back and have a great ride.

    Finally coughed up the dough for a real Helinox high back chair after years of using the Aldi knock off. So much lighter and more comfortable.

  3. congrats on the recovery and getting back in the literal saddle :D!. curious why you have a front rack but aren’t using it? I always carry way to much on tour. best way to find out what you don’t need it to take it with you lol. then you will decide on some other thing you wont use next time. gets a little better every tour but its never perfect. have a great trip
