I'm doing a short (still 200km) off-road ride very shortly.
I finally got around to testing out my fully laiden touring setup and it's not good. It's just far too heavy to be ridden off-road. I've got to put it on a major diet and preferably loose that trailer!
I have a sleeping bag (big blue thing on top)
A camping mat
A bivvy tin, camping stove, spork + tin mug, tea bags
A tesco tent
A change of jersey,
A change of shorts (leggings)
jeans, teashirt, boxers, spare socks.
A fleese coat, wooly hat, waterproof coat
solar phone charger (freeloader).
Toothpaste+ brush,
Handfull of babywipes.
Map, garmin, batteries and phone in a holder on the bars.
Camelbak with two spare tubes, water, pump and multitool, tyre levers and zip ties.
How can I fasten the sleepingbag + mat to the bike? They're far too big to go in the panniers.
What can I leave behind? - (1 poss 2 night trip).
