GP: Well it looks like Drew and I are in the middle of preparations.... We've both been keeping Amazon and Wiggle busy over the last few weeks and months, and now we're almost done... both the bikes look fantastic (in my humble opinion!). I can't believe it's six months since I last posted, and i didn't even have a bike then...!!
Everyone should now know that we will generally be using nicknames from now on.... "why?" I hear you ask.... "because..." comes the shrieked reply...!!!
Nick is herewith known as the "Great Pathfinder" (GP.)
Drew is herewith known as the "Llaughing Llama" (LLLL)
Here's the pictures from my test pack and Drew's equipment fitting session last weekend....
GP:The panniers are on, but they're looking pretty empty so far....
GP:confusion reigns.... should I put the tiger balm with the wet items, or with the personal items... decisions, decisions, decisions....
GP:It's coming together... the shoes are out, ready for putting in the panniers...
GP:... I wonder if I can fit it all in if I stand on the pannier...???
LLLL's bike is looking goooooood.... no front panniers (yet, maybe...?), but the honey saddle looks fantastic...
LLLL's cockpit with his new handlebars he didn't tell me about until yesterday.... sneaky...!
The back of LLLL's bike... the panniers look taller than mine, but let's hope he can fit all his stuff in...!!
The highlight of the tour so far.... and it hasn't even started yet...!!!... the honey saddle.... I'd make some strange gutteral noises and create some new words now to try and describe how good that thing looks, but I'm scared I might feature on BSNYC ... and I'm wayyyy too uncool for that...!!!.
LLLL & GP.
