I realise i like to explore thats why i ride my bike, so im really not sure i have toured in some relatively remote places like tibet but id like more remote if possible i have attached an image and a link of the range of riding i like. but in reality its likely to be ingle-track gnarly- to dirt-road gnarly

"You know degree-of-gnarly is directly proportional to the amount of broken/bent stuff in the middle of nowhere..." i think i have to add this to my avatar if i can find out how gaffa tape and zip ties

I perviosuly toured with four panniers but it was like riding a train due to the weight next time ill go with two 30 liter backpacks if anything that cant fit comfortably in their i aint taking.. simple. ill probably put these on the back but ill try this out when the time come have any recommendations
