My first 100 mile ride... Exmoor Beast 2011

Gearing up... tyres!

I changed the original continental ultra sports for a set of schwalbe R1's... they were great but didn't last long at all... the front went out of shape before it wore out! The rear just chewed up, no good for a long ride. :(

Gearing up! Saddle

First thing to change on my trusty Boardman team carbon was the saddle... although the original was ok the Charge Spoon i have now is much better.

I rode the Exmoor Beast on the original and it was OK till about 70 miles... but after a bit of a shift around it came good again till the end.   The Spoon i used on the Dartmoor Classic 100,  no issues at all.

And at around £20 they are a bargin.
