Essentials for a biking weekend

[hornett]

I am going on my very first biking weekend away planning on riding from South Wales to the Isle of White, camping for a day or two and then heading home.

Anyone make any recommendations on gear. I obviously have all the basics but any tips on stuff to take and how to prevent chaffing

Well I got back from a weekend away in the Isle of Wight

Was a good trip had a bit of a battery issue, one of the connections got a but corroded bit nothing sandpaper didn't cure.

hornett, what tent did you use? I'm after a tent for camping reasons (state the bleeding obvious why don't I) and want one that'll fit on the back set somfortbaly.

I'll try and find the model but it was only a 2man one from the gos (not sure if I can say the name)

They don't do it anymore though
