Out-riding the Black Dog
I've recently enjoyed a couple of off road tours on my MTB. It was very wintry so I was wearing all my clothes. I travelled very light. Wine and food was a problem. Ain't it just.
Long and the short is that for spring, summer and autumn I'll need to increase capacity. In my yoof I just used a day sack. I haven't toured with anything other than panniers for over a decade and really can't face having a bag on my back.
Frame bag? I did not like the look of them, but I'm thinking it's better than a bag on my back.
I've just sold a few things on eBay which will fund a bespoke purchase from Alpkit. Any pointers? I have enough to fund a hydration/battery wire port and a document pouch.
Has anyone tried an Alpkit Stingray frame bag? Any thoughts?
