What do I bring with me? (Things to include in your saddlebag).

- Money - at least £10 enough for refreshments at eleven's and if necessary a train/taxi journey in the unlikely event of mechanical problems that cannot be repaired.

- Rain Gear - a cape or jacket.

- Tool kit - of basic tools and an appropriately sized spare inner tube (see below). Of course we are willing to help out newcomers should mechanical problems arise en route but we would expect a bike to be in good order at the start.
