Luckily I wrote everything down in my blog 2 years ago from my 9 day trip. My ordinary mt bike that still had knobby tires weighed 37 lbs. I had very little gear since it was absolutely ideal riding weather (80/60F with no rain). All camping gear/food/water including a 4.5 lb tent was 25 lbs. It was one of those 'just go' trips with zero planning because time was available. I am an experienced lightweight backpacker since I've hiked most of the PCT with 10-12 lbs of gear.

Travel plans are being hatched. The bike will be about 10 lbs lighter and the gear will be about 10 lbs heavier due to electronics and cooler temps. And the trip will be much longer.
