Well I am down to the last pound or two of “do I take it
or do I leave it”. I will now go back
and forth, mildly agonizing over trivial gear choice/decisions. Always do it, always take just a little bit
to much, oh well we are talking the weight of one std water bottle. Looks like once I add in all the personal
supplies, extra this and that I will be close to 32 lbs, about 1.5 lbs over
target………..I can race with it………….ha, and I will.........

Here is my new waterproof/zipper-less tank bag, with one
hand I can open, access, and close while riding.

Personally I think this style is currently, bar none, the
"best" available in tank bags.

Here is my new seat-post bag. I like my custom outside pocket—
note rear entry storage pocket for cable w/tiny lock (partially pulled out)
here I store
my light weight bike lock—fast to access and lock, fast clean storage-100% out
of the way

Will post up on my new frame bag soon (it’s got some fairly
unique features also)
Nice bags and an amazingly light setup. Hope I can at least get as far north as CO before ya pass me going south ! Have a great ride !!
ReplyDeleteGreat setup Marshal. I like the zipperless gas tank.
ReplyDeleteI get the distinct impression from you vetrans light=fast. How light is too light though from a comfort/safety point of view? Of course you locals will be much more aclimatised to the cold and can get away with less.
Flyboy, I blogged a post on the matter of 'light' but from reading your blog and trip reports I would think you will handle the TDR conditions with ease
