I've not done lots of touring but looked in to it for the future.
. Keep center of gravity low.
. New sprockets chain tyres if anything but almost new.
. Zip ties, spark plugs, spare cables.
. Hard luggage if your loaded, soft luggage for everyone else.

Lots more but can't think of it at the moment. ____________________ Enjoy Life There's Plenty of Time to be Dead

thanks for the advice...
yeah, it's a pretty pathetic touring holiday corsicas tiny and I'm living in antibes, so it'll take 15 mins to get to the ferry....
The idea to go to corsica for a long weekend just kind of evolved into a bike trip, so we don't wanna spend the whole time on the bike if you see what I mean, but if we have to lug all our stuff around it'll be a pain in the arse.
We're going in May, so it should be warm enough, a small tent and a blanket should be enough, so we could ditch the bulky sleeping bags. Also, the local sports place sells one man tents for like 25 euros, would be ok for a couple i reckon, and it'll also make it warmer and take up very little space.... so then i just need to get hold of some cheap soft panniers and we're sorted
anyone been to corsica before? recommend any good places to stop off? ____________________ "he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man"- Dr. Johnson |

I don't know how spread around Europe they are, but if you have a Decathalon store near you they often sell some very cheap tents. Sounds like a great trip, I'm very envious of you. I never have time to go anywhere more exotic than Scarborough |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 19 years, 28 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
