Hi all,

I'm planning a coast to coast cycle - Dublin -> Westport (+ the greenway) in a few weeks' time (yes, I know going west has the wind to deal with, but I have other reasons it needs to be that direction)

My usual bike is a carbon frame road bike, but it has basically no cargo capacity, and i'll probably have ~10Kg of stuff to bring, so rather than a backpack I think I'd be better off with a touring bike with panniers, etc

I know about the N+1 rule, but this time I think I should rent one instead - anywhere in particular people would recommend to rent from?
