San Miguel Injury Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just wondering if anyone from the club is doing this sportive? I have entered and would appreciate any advice from those that have done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 16, 2016 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Make sure you have lights? San Miguel Injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted May 16, 2016 Life Members Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi Alan, I've not done this before, but know of people who have - I think Allan Mclaughlin & Andrew Dunn etc did it last year? Like Darryl said, lights (front & back) are essential of course! Make sure you get proper front lights that allows you to see where you're going rather than the ones that only let other see you (but I reckoned there won't be much traffic at that time of night) maybe even a back up light just in case or spare batteries (but most lights nowadays are USB charged) as the ride is relatively long. I think a head touch might be a good idea just in case you have a mechanical in the dark & it allows you to see what you're doing. But be aware & prepare for the dreaded midges, when & if you stop for whatever reason. they'll try to kill you Anyway, have a great time & tells us all about the ride after please.

San Miguel Injury Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks Darryl and Chung for the advice- Lights are seemingly a mandatory two at the front and two at the back, of 500 lumens. Midges- might be okay for some protein on the way round!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted May 16, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Few weeks ago Aldi had 1200 lumen lights for £30, worth checking if they have any stock left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
