Weigh in guestimates

Post by Ben98 »

So, the WRT isnt to far off, so does anyone want to take a guess at what there weigh in weight will be?
I'm currently hoping for under 40lbs (even if its just) thanks to my KM being about 4lbs heavier than the cross bike i used last year (36.5lbs total weight)
Anyone else have a guess?

An optimistic mid 40's. Last year was 51, I believe. I've changed some kit since last year and won't be taking 2 days food and 1.5 ltrs of water with me.

Total weight is what you leave the field with, including food and water.
Helmet/riding kit is not included.
