Looks like a lot of stuff attached to your bike you could do without

But I’ve only done >200k a couple of times, so take that my opinion rather than advice

I stated in the dark. If it was a bit later in the year I could have ditched a couple of Kg of lights. Riding through the city and then into the unlit lanes at roughly rush hour made full lights a no brainier 🙂

in the end it took just over 11 hours. I was aiming for 10 but a couple of mates joined me for the first leg of the ride and they were slower than expected. The wind and an unexpected diversion added the rest.

As for bike of choice I’d love one of these if my commute was flatter : )
