Get the longest seat post you can find to stop your knees hurting.......sealed bearing hubs for smoothness

Good brakes for when the traffic lights turn red at the bottom of hills

Gloves

Small tool kit and spare tubes

Try and get a fair few miles in on your bike and build it up to about a 20 mile ride with in a few weeks of your ride

Top advice Rob, cheers.

I'm going to do this in my Supergoose, nice and light with a 44t on it. I was defo going for a longer seat post, and I know the rear brake is up to it, fortunately, there is only about 15 mile on the road, which is fairly flat, the rest is on cycle routes.

I did the route a few weeks ago on my MTB, took just over 3 hours, but I had a head wind most of the day, never even got into top cog, I'll do the reverse this time, hope the wind's kinder. :daumenhoch:
