Below is a list of everything I'm planning to wear and take with me at the moment along with the weight in grammes. In total this adds up to 4.9 kg. On top of this there will be a credit and debit card to pay for the things I've forgotten. The idea of going lightweight with a bag attached to a seat tube mounted rack came from Kipperonabike along with James and Henry you can find a good list of other End to End web sites here.

The bike is a Giant TCR C3. The only alteration to its original state is an alloy seat tube instead of the original carbon to allow the rear rack to be attached to the seat tube.
The rack is a Topeak QR Beam EX Rear Rack with a Topeak MTX Trunk Bag Ex.
The bikes gearing is 36 - 50 Front and 12 - 25 rear which going by James and Henry's comments will hopefully ensure that I don't need to get off and walk up any of the hills.

I've just noticed that his malt loaf and jelly babies almost weigh as much as the clothes he's taken for the evenings for the whole week.......shows how lightweight and very smelly he'll be by the end of the week! and how much he likes jelly babies:) suzie
Whoops, I meant to leave that comment from me, Suzie, rather than on Roger's account.......need to work on this blogging thing:) Suzie
LOL the binoculars and the bird book(feathered variety I presume?)....I reckon you're a really keen twitcher Roger to drag them all that way. Dont use them whilst you're cycling for goodness sake.
