Inaugural ride with bike packing gear

Firsr ride laden with all my gear for an overnighter (or 2) that I've slowly collected over the past year.
It's all been sitting on my rig for the past 2 days while it's been raining here in the northeast. I couldn't wait any longer.

I was prepared for this, but man it is this a true challenge of patience not being able to just rip through my usual route.

I also usually charge for the last photo, so, yr welcome.
