That's exactly what I'm doing for my next bike trip later this month. The amount of gear I'm taking for a two-week winter trip will be the same or a little less than I used for the last one-week summer trips.

The only time I used front and rear panniers was when I was on a route which had me away from supply points for multiple days. Carrying enough food for four days added some bulk to the load.
