The equinox was last week and thankfully daytime temperatures are slowly rising. Less than 8 weeks to go to the start of my LEJoG trip and I must start getting some mileage done. I have been out several times over the last 4 weeks but the cold does tend to go for my knees if lower then 6C, so I'm glad to see it getting to 8C now.
Got the bike serviced recently with new brake and gear cables and new chain and cassette fitted. Also got a Brooks saddle last november which is still not quite broken in but I have been pleasantly surprised by the comfort already compared to the old saddle.
Have been trawling the Net for LEJoG blogs and stories to see what advice is there for things to take and not take. I am going to try for a load of 12Kg max but we'll see.
