Well I did it... But not as expected...
Or, for those who know me, perhaps it was exactly as expected?!

If you read the 'ride prep blog' then you've got a rough idea of all the bits and pieces that I took. The astute amongst you will note further on that the neat and tidy seat-pack system was replaced with a cumbersome and slightly heavy rack. Not Ti. Not even skinny steel, but a big lump of aluminium, plastic, and paint.

Why, you may ask, did I choose the rack? It was because I took too much stuff. Far too much stuff... read on for the full ride report and to hear me moan about how I took too much stuff...

After a few days of very good behaviour, Miles climbed is 'reward chart' high enough for his treat!!
The reward was nicely written in large bold writing: "Skatepark and tea in the woods"!
He really is his father's son!!
