Holy Smokes! Imagine if that gear was all packed on his bike, it would have been 57lbs


Looks like an amazing location, and good riding too.

Oddly, I think 56lb is about average at the WRT weigh-in :)

Will there be an opportunity for a camp fire at the winter bivvy? If so, I'll bring my saw too :)

I'm no super light packer but WTF?

That weight in a rucksack would kill my back and wonky shoulder

I think that's the same area the article on bike packing in the new Singletrack is from. Oddly, it looks like a different three guys but they made the same choice of MASSIVE rucksacks.
