Following on from Gary's show and tell, here's my mount for the challenges ahead:
It's a Trek Pilot 2.0 - a "sportive" bike designed as a cross between racing and touring bikes, and ideal for long all-day events (we shall see!).
I've added a rack, clipless pedals and switched from the standard racy but vicious 23mm tyres to more a comfortable 28mm to cope with the shocking state of the roads between home and work. What I lose in efficiency, I more than make up in comfort, and with 1500 miles of riding still ahead before we set off from Morecambe, comfort is all!!
