What did you buy? A soft saddle will probably not givs you a comfy ride.

As above, @natnatroswell22. Would be interested in your purchases as aiming to do some bike packing this summer. Do tell! And btw.

New chain for the commuter - it's not even down a thousand miles yet but the wear indicator is telling me to replace it so replace it I shall

Not sure what brand of chain is on there but the running gear is Shimano claris. To be honest I'd have expected it to last longer but nevermind

I also bought some threadlock - not for anything in particular, I just didnt have any so figured it would come in handy at some point

I dont know if you join it,It may count the activities you have allready done during the timescale of the challenge,worth trying anyway.

I bought Bell comfort memory foam bike seat. I thought it's going to give me a comfort ride since it's squishy and foamy enough to carry my butt but yea you're right soft saddles aren't for bikepacking or any long term cycling.
