I can handle a bit of chewing, so long as it's done on a flat surface - a la canal paths.Quote:

I suppose... that's what Croydon does to any otherwise all manly Issan man...
I would add a big bag of patches and another half dozen inner tubes at least. Esoecially if you are going X country.Quote:

Two spare tubes should hopefully last me until the midlands. Got the patches and the levers. If spokes start snapping, though, I'm fecked.Quote:

I knew you were mental Slaps, this just proves it :dance:
I'm planning on sprinting passed the midlands. That's where Stoke is, isn't it?Quote:

Should've done in hindsight. Feel free to get your cheque book out, Bolski.Quote:

Be nice to see a map of your route
I'm gonna be staying on the Westside innit. There's an NCN route that leads from Bristol up to Shropshire, so I'll go via Hereford all being well.Quote:

After 100 miles a day, your hands will be good for map squiggle uploads and not much else. Just imagine 12 days without a tug. ;)
I fail to see the motorQuote:

Dear Mr Slap,
I think you are a very brave man.
It takes some large bollocks and some strong ale for a southern botty toucher to leave familiar settings to venture North into the real England.
As a friend, i implore you to stop when you reach the large Roman wall running east-west across the top of the country. Venture north of that, and there there be Scotch peoples - a folk so barbaric, so ginger, and so gutteral as to cause offense to your delicate sensibilities.
And the men wear skirts, which could explain your compulsion to go there.
Take care Slap.
Would you like to rent my bike?
When I opened the OP and saw the bike I thought instantly of Dirty Dog's car which was the same colour. :bigeyes::shocked:
Keep clear of the rashes Slaps and keep the fluid intake up.
See you at the next report and stay safe.
Best of british slaps. Just take it easy on the first few days and dont get dehydrated.drink water and elecrolites every half an hour even if you dont feel thirsty. I rode from holyhead to cardiff in 1day , about 320 kms if i remember right, and i was a spritley 45 years young then..
Good luck
I used to use spoons.Quote:

Smooth roads and good cycling Mr Slap.
I must admit to a touch of jealousy. To set oneself such an admirable endeavour and start out on it is a marvellous thing. far, far too long since I have done anything even remotely similar.
Anyway, for our non-British brethren, a map showing a route from Lands End to John o' Groats.
Best of British Mr Slap.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didnt realise. I thought it was just a little venture Slaps was heading out on.
Best you read this Slap..... Groin Numbness and Bike Riding – Causes, Symptoms and Signs on MedicineNet.comQuote:
The perineum is the area between the anus and the base of the penis in males and between the anus and the vagina in females; it contains both blood vessels and nerves. Compression of the perineum can lead to nerve damage, swelling, artery insufficiency (lack of blood flow through the vessel), and even occlusion (blockage) of blood vessels, which in turn can lead to temporary or permanent groin numbness, tingling sensations, decreased penile blood supply, erectile dysfunction (impotence), decreased orgasm sensitivity, and pain. These cycling-related perineal symptoms are the subject of this article.
Good luck Mr Floppy :)
