The equipment

The bike for the LEJoG was my Van Nicholas Yukon fitted with Ultegra/Dura Ace drivetrain and Open Pro/Dura Ace wheels running Michelin Pro3 Race 23mm tyres.

Navigation was using a bar-mounted Garmin eTrex Vista HCx loaded with routes planned using the Marengo website.  I used a cheapo wired computer from Aldi (under a fiver!) which is totally reliable and gives me accurate mileages, speeds, averages, etc.
