Equipment and Training

Gordon will be riding a custom 30 speed touring bike.  He's using Ortlieb panniers, Schwalbe Mararthon tyres, and a Brookes saddle.

Nigel will be riding what appears to be a country vicar's push bike, with a basket on the front.

Gordon has trained solidly for over a year, during which time he has completed six half-marathons, ten triathlons, and a half-ironman.  He's been cycling over two hundred kms per week for the last six months.

Nigel has been carb-loading.
