think our total estimate was 56 miles (there was a slight detour when we took a wrong turning due to missing marshall/signpost)

Ok lads, this sounds great so far. I will PM those who have shown interest a little later to see if we can get a team entry together and to firm up a list of names. Anybody else???

I'd recommend trying a set of skinnies too as you're all its on the road. Lower your drag factor with tyres that can take 100psi and you'll roll with just a puff of wind!

A few of us did a couple of the Moonriders events on OS 20" BMX. London to Brighton 2012 then London to Cambridge the following year.

For training, I'd recommend using the bike for the event and slowly increase the millage and weight. This will allow you to work out any tweaks to your set-up and components etc along with general fitness, muscle memory etc. Keep the weight to a minimum (in what you carry and wear). I found it easier to load the bike and fit a water bottle 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 to top it up ;)

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.
