This is my loaded bike which I've just begun to do some short touring with. This sustains me for 2 - 3 days/nights. I'm loving it! I'm sure I could get it lighter though. Right now the bike and load combined are around 51 lbs. BTW, I've been camping so this gear includes a tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, etc. If stayed at hotels I'm sure I could get MUCH lighter, but I rather enjoy the camping aspect.
