anyone doing the passporte next month and if so are you going to change your bike set up to suit the riding in the alps

The only extra you need is sun-cream.

Very much depends on your current set up. Personally I up the the disc rotors for any trip to the Alps. Take plenty of spare pads, and any bike specific spares like rear mech hanger. You also might want to consider tougher tyres.

I was about to write it's not next month but it is 😯 Won't be making any changes to setup for PDS will leave as is though will have some 2.5 tyres available for some of the other rides we are looking to do.

I'm fitting panniers to my '5' to carry the free cheese and wine !!
