NYE Bike-packing Gear List

As I put together my kit for last week’s five day bike-packing trip, I found myself drawing from all the advice and experience of others. From the basics to little tricks, there are always things we can learn and improve upon.

Chatting this fall with Aaron Weinsheimer in Colorado,[Story for a future bowlingbybike post] we discussed how each set-up really is specific to each trip. You must always consider things like duration, distance, climate, resources, specific personal needs and more.

For this set-up, keep in mind that I had regular resources for food and water.This trip was the first time I had nothing on my back. Oh what a relief! I was also hosted by friends on the second and forth nights. Though, the desert doesn’t care how well prepared you are.

There are things I could have done lighter, like the shock-pump and whiskey flask while I did not bring any camp shoes or sandals. I’m okay with those sacrifices. A thin pair of wool long finger gloves would have been nice instead of the short finger cycling gloves.

It’s impossible to have one perfect set-up for every person and every trip. It keeps changing, as the circumstances demand. But overall, I was satisfied with this set-up for this trip. Oh yeah, total weight for the bike including food and water on day one: 60lbs.
