I have clothing, but it's stuff I've only ever used for day outings and I'm not sure its up to a multi-day activity like this. Knowing (as I do) the incredible increase in strain of a multi-day compared to a single day (I've one stuff like the Coast to Coast on foot) I'm keen to ensure I get the right equipment. On the lugging front, I've been advised that as the bike is carbon it might not take a traditional pannier rack. As such, a rucksack was suggested. Are these are safe and comfortable option? I'm sure I read somewhere that a rucksack can increase the chances of neck injury? Is this true? Answers to that, and advice on anything else is greatly appreciated. Cheers Tex
