Shelter of some kind, or are you just crossing your fingers for clear weather?
Re: Forgotten anything? (How minimal dare I go)

Re: Forgotten anything? (How minimal dare I go)
Well impressed with that minimal list, what does it all weigh?
I can think of a couple of more items;
I hate to be the one who brings this up but Small First aid kit?
Also shorts/pants - Personal choice really but I find sleeping in my cycling shorts leaves me prone to saddle sores

Theres 2 of us going. My mate has a first aid kit and I have the toolkit and pump. We didnt see the point in carrying all that each so have shared the load on this one, normally i would have a small kit.Brothersmith wrote:Well impressed with that minimal list, what does it all weigh?

Sleeping, I was kindo of hoping to just remove the lycra and pop the baggies back on - granted if it rains this will leave me nekid 8-)
You have got me thinking about it though...
I reckon a shade over 4kg once its in the bags. Still sounds heavy to me really.
