All weights in pounds, sorry if your name's spelt wrong.

Just looking through the list it would appear that weights are gradually getting lower. I'm sure there used to be many more bikes in the 60 - 70lb bracket but I could be wrong.

4th

Pleased with that. (For the full aswell )

Popped that lot into excel and....


Average weight 52.1 lbs
Most common weight 50 lbs (Tandem & FS Trailer skewing that, probably should format Rich & Shona at 37.5 lbs each!)
Total weight of bikes and bivi kit knocking about the trails....4257 lbs.

If I get some time I'll have a go at guessing the males & females and compare them...... or perhaps look at Lite vs Full event, or last year vs this year


Pounds Kilos
Total: 4257.0 1935.0
Average: 52.2 23.7
Mode: 50.0 22.7

Cheated with no water in your bottles though.

Ooh - am I the lightest girl? (Ok rephrase that I may have the lightest loaded bike out of the girls looking at the names)

You can add 12.5 lbs to mine for the backpack which I had to come back and get re-weighed for! I was 50.5 lbs but guess it didn't get spotted in the mix. So you're 3rd not 4th!

Still pretty chuffed with that as the Groove isn't the lightest of frames, and I must've lost getting on for 20 lbs compared to my first year weigh-in

48 happy with that not bad for a first timer that's will full camlebak

Cheated with no water in your bottles though.

Somebody made sure I set off with no water aswell, whats the issue?

And just realised it's joint 2nd and David was doing the Lite so VICTORY!!!!

How's that heavy steel bike of yours with the wonky back wheel?

Link to last years weigh in, for comparison. Looks like the average increased on 2013

http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB ... 013#p19436

21lbs lighter

(Lite vs full fat, single speed vs 27gears, 8g stove vs jetboil, same bag/bivi/tarp though)

Top half of the table with 42 lbs, 9 lbs off from last year. Happy with that.

Getting down to the mid 30's, like some of those weights, would require me to jettison all the cheese I took. I'll stick with the forties.

Is there a handicap system for taller riders who need bigger bike frames, clothes?

Your own fault for being lanky.

Thanks mate

My bike alone is heavier than the first 4 bikes on the list, I can't see me getting down that low any time soon.

My sneaky plan is to use something other than my "robust" Inbred next year to try and sneak things down a bit more!

my bike on its own was 11kgs but missed the weigh in so not sure how much everything would have been.


my ride for next years WRT

Quite a range there.. the 101lb bike, any pics? Respect for pedalling that anywhere : )

and

Ricky Cotter 47

- that's probably almost half her body weight and she'd still out-climb me too easily!

I think it might have been the trailer that contributed significantly to the weight of that one, that and the fact that once you've got a trailer, you may as well put stuff in it.

You seen the welding on that .

Just weighed my Rohloffed 29er+ and gear, including water, tent, bag, tools, breakfast bars, no cooking gear, first aid kit and a couple of other essentials it's come in at 51lbs on my dodgy scales.



If my scales are close to it's correct weight, how the hell did those really light weight riders survive and what did (or didn't) they carry?

Can see me smashing 62 this year, will be on a fully packed fatty .... It could be a two man lift just for the scales ...which is a pain when your riding solo!!!

38lbs last year (joint 2nd I think )

Probably up on that this year, new bike is 28lbs unloaded

However the power unit is 35lbs lighter this year

I can pretty much guarantee that my gear weighs more than my bike... and I don't care!

You've got 2 sets of handlebars, heavy wheels, a dustbin full of cogs for a rear hub and one needless water bottle at the very least!
