Yeah, it is a bit out of the way, and you have to pedal like fook through Rhyl to stop the scagheads robbing you. :laugh:

Good luck with this man. Great cause :daumenhoch:
There's a few of us on here that did a couple of the Moonriders events on OS 20" BMX.
Personally, I'd recommend training on the bike you're going to use for the event and slowly increase the millage and weight. This will allow you to work out any tweaks to the set-up and components etc along with muscle memory. Keep the weight to a minimum (in what you carry and wear) and I found it easier to load the bike rather than use a rucksack / camel back thing but it's up to you. Also if it's an organised event, a small bottle should be plenty to get you to one of the rest stops ;)
Tool kit should just be the essentials to change a tube (mini 15mm spanner, plastic levers, pump, tube)
Allen Key or two and a couple of spare chain links plus a link splitter tool.
I did the London to Brighton on this:
All this talk and I've almost forgot how bad the London to Cambridge ride was...
I did say never again ::) ::) :crazy2: :idiot2: :uglystupid2:
Hope that helps some. Good luck :daumenhoch:

Smooth tyres and a Big front chainring for that route Dan 46T/47T would work sweet imo and shoud be a cheap pickup for that size.
