Hi All!

Anto's been busy trial-packing his touring load for the Audax. Here's what he told me:

Didn't get to pitch the tent -- way too windy and cold, so I fitted the rear rack. Took a bit of fettling to get it right. I adjusted the panniers as far back as they go so no heel issue's. I think this will be my set up. Everything you see on the bed I can get into the Carradice Longflap, but I still need to pack down quilt and clothes, so I'm going to go with panniers.

Pics attached below.

Best,

Dan.

Thanks for the pics Jags (and Dan)!  I like watching a bike evolve. 

How old does the bike have to be before it gets relegated to the shed?  It looks quite at home indoors but not sure all family members would agree.

[jags]

the wife will be in the shed before me bike is.

Remember where those good meals come from, Anto! 

All the best,

Dan.
