Gear and stuff
tent-- Big Agnes copper spur 2 worked perfectly. With ground sheet 3&1/2 lbs. not very ultra light but lighter than most other double walled tents. nice amount of room inside for 1 person.
Enlightened Equipment quilt 30 * was fine ,
Thermarest neoaire no problems
20L front 28 L rear panniers were the right size. no handlebar bag, used the top of front rack for tent poles & pump, rear trunk was a good choice, space for food without getting crushed, and 3 little pockets for stuff. 2 water bottles was enough no need for 2 L water bladder.
Food along the way, no need for kitchen stuff, wt 2&1/2 lb or so.
Used the heavy fleece at night, no need for the mid wt.
brought too many socks & underwear
no need for jerseys. wool t shirts were good, also wool base layer needed
smart phone camera not a sepparate camera, I’m not much of a photographer.
No street clothes, nice warm ups enough. non cycling shoes needed crocs are good.
I brought too many gloves
Air mattress pump was a nice luxury 3 oz
rain gear needed not used, maybe leave pants.
Did not wear my helmet on the trail.
no sit pad or chair
I made a more accurate list the day after I came home , sure hope that I find it.
So I could have left 10 lbs of unneccessary stuff
In warm weather I will get rid of the warmer clothes, a few lbs. and maybe the front panniers and rank, another 3&1/2 lbs
So I’m hoping for 20 lbs total with panniers & rack for warmer weather.
30 lbs for cooler weather, 35 maybe 40lb for cold weather.
Bring chamois cream or such
might bring a fold up tire.
