SNAPSHOT | Annaleena | April 2019
Here's #2 in our SNAPSHOT series. 4 questions and answers with accompanying images from inspirational adventurers.
LAST RIDE?
A hasty getaway between deadlines, quick, quick, before the phone rings again, to the Hertfordshire bridleways.
WHICH BIKE?
My trusted Mason Resolution.
WHAT SET-UP?
I'm wearing PEdALED, my go-to adventure-cycling brand. On the handlebars: two Apidura pouches containing tools, an Otto lock, one of my many Anker chargers and various keto-friendly snacks. I use my iPhone for navigation and am a big fan of the brilliant Quad Lock phone mounting system. I've also got a Garmin Edge Explore 820 for recording my rides. I swear by my Brooks Cambium cut-out saddle, which has been gentle on my backside even on the longest randonnées. A daub of Rapha chamois cream also helps. My cassette is 11-32, which means I can get over pretty much any obstacle.
WHAT'S NEXT?
A couple of days on the silky roads of Mallorca, followed by a rambling adventure across France.
