Okay, ready to do this now. It was cold last night and I've tested out my kit for Friday, checked over the bicycle and I think I'm as ready as I'll ever be. The route has been modified on billplumtree's advice, it's now Redcar - Arnside - Redcar and Mrs.shyumu is seeing me off from Redcar at 6pm(ish) on Friday night. Bill is meeting me at Kirkby Lonsdale too; which I'm looking forward to, possibly about 1am?
I know it's only a 340km ride and I should probably just ride with no luggage and a set of lights, but I'm packing for my first lone-through-the-night adventure. Warm clothes, brunch bars, painkillers and spare batteries in addition to the normal self-sufficiency gubbins.
Good to go.
