I think I might have permanently damaged my knee pulling a stunt like that! Train properly like Ken did and I didn't.
I rode a Marin Mill Valley(2009 replacement frame), Rivendell (by Panaracer) Rolly Poly 700x28c tires. Cannondale XYZ barends. Crank Brothers eggbeater pedals.
I wore Nashbar Ragster II sandals, no socks.
Brooks LSD lite jacket under the saddle which came in handy. The sleeves are a little short (not cycle specific fit). I cut the hood off after this ride because it wouldn't stay rolled up and it got in my way. The jacket weighs less than a blueberry scone.
Tools in the red bottle, pump behind it, patch kit held under it with a piece of MTB innertube. The
Bento Box remained empty. It's just for show.
This guy did it on a mountain bike.
Avoid this gear combination.
