Ready, set, go!

I am enjoying the 15th of August bank holiday to finish my setup.

Loaded my tracks in the GPS. Cleaned and lubed my bike. The packing list is almost ready.


And the bike ?

A good old vintage titanium Quintana Roo Santos from 2005 updated from TT to road bike, 11sp Ultegra 11/34, Campagnolo Zonda wheels, with Continental GP5000 28mm. Named Uli for Ulysses, a Rotor 2powerin powers him with Qring 50/34; he always finds his road home from Paris to Medellin and Malaga, now to Bilbao.

Topeak Backloader 10L for the extra layers, extra kit and repair tools. Restrap frame bag for care kit and electrics stuff. Restrap top tube to keep the food and sun protector. Front lights are Lezyne Macrodrive 1800XL and Moon Rigel. Two Moon shield-X as rear lights. Decathlon areobar. Extra kit: a pair of sandals to push in the track, a stabilizer for extra bottles and a swimsuit if I'm lucky or cross sirens.

Wish me luck and track me cap41 by the 19th of August 21h.
