I started getting a little concerned about how visible I was to drivers the other week, especially as I keep hearing stories about cyclists being hit by cars. I decided I needed some fluorescent kit. So I ordered a Montane Featherlite Velo jacket for a start. This is a truly excellent shell to have with you – it packs down into a tennis ball size bag and yet is comfortable, water resistant and highly fluorescent. Trouble is that I would only be wearing this if it was colder or wetter weather. The standard issue Shipham top that I wear is orange but its still not eye catching enough. I had a search around and came up with a high viz vest type thing make my Brookes. Its light as a feather and wont make any difference to your temperatures, but it has fluorescent netting and large reflective panels. Just the job. So I am now pretty much kitted out. I’m tempted to go even further with some fluorescent reflective strips on the seat stays…
Hey Dude!
Nice average speed, if you carry that pace for your jogle it will only take you 54 hours!!!!
And if you didn’t stop at all you could do it in 2.24 days!!!!
I know you’ve probably researched this already bjt check out the below link if not.

Thanks matey, I wish I could keep that up for 54 hours – imagine how cool that would be! It would need a few bags of Tangfastics I think…! Ice baths sound like a good plan – might give it a go when I do the Oxford training trip.
