An outward route was provided and followed by both.

The return route was 25% provided, the remaining 75% was made up "ad hoc" on a Tom Tom sat. nav. (curvy roads) and Garmin sat. nav (fastest time).

The ride leading was shared.

To me, the RT doesn't look right without panniers. It should be proud of its pedigree and ride always fully dressed.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you
