Ultra light tourer
Ok, so it's not my bivi bike but I've just received my fuel tank bag and set my CX bike up as a credit card tourer with a bit of a plan for mid next week.
The plan is to ride the 174 miles of the Ravenglass to South Shields Sustrans route number 72 - Hadrian's Cycleway on this over 2 days.
Carrying a change of clothes for the evening pub, camera, mobile phone, bit of cash and a credit card for a B&B on route and the train return.
OK so knock me down for posting :evil:

The rear tyre is on upside down
And your woodwork needs a good sand and retreatment too
</stw>
Looks smart though. Nearly bought one before I plumped for the Kite.
Have fun.

Ride postponed for 2 weeks.
Reason for not going = major Brownie points building
If I had gone= Major brownie points would be lost
