Is there a hydration pack out there big enough to carry all that stuff or is there a way for me to pack better/lighter than that? Talking out loud to myself, I could probably ditch the bit Nalgene bottle since I have access to a clean sink at work, as well as having a bladder with the back pack itself.
Surprised no one has suggested this but you could put a rack on your bike and either carry the backpack on the rack or get a set of panniers.
Never mind. Someone did suggest it.
