Saddlebag or panniers?
Hi
Touring newbie here, be kind!
In June I'm doing a 5-day trip from London UK to Lands End on a Cervelo Calendonia road bike. We're staying in hotels and hostels, so no camping gear.
Would you recommend a large saddlebag or small panniers (both combined with a handlebar bag) for the trip? For the latter, I'm thinking about the new Restrap thru axle rack or the Ortlieb equivalent.
Any other tips very welcome!
Thanks
Alan
