From: A land that time forgot

Bikes: the ever shifting stable loaded with comfortable road bikes and city and winter bikes

no gearlist; that was an overnight blitz across the cascades in September. about 220 miles as an overnight.

but it was emergency Bivy (the silver thing), silnylon tarp, 3/4 guidelite, trangia stove with tiny pot, down vest, hat, light nylon windbreaker, extra wool shirt, thin long johns, extra socks, windbreaker pants. the usual assorted small stuff. I used newspaper for insulation under my legs (dry weekend!) 2 compression stuffsacks, two backpacking side pockets (one on handlebars-works great! use them all the time on the 'bars)

I was stealth camping and have been using tarps since the 1970's on and off, I'm okay with tarps.

I have a kilo down bag (not on that trip), thinking of getting a western mountaineering one pound down bag.
