I'm heading to Spain to do a few days ride on the Camino de Santiago with my M6R. With more third party accessories I decided to try out a new setup. I wanted a smaller bag up front but could fit under the airplane seat when I fly over from the US. The Rock Bros Brompton bag is a great size and I liked the roll top. But the carrier doesn't work with the standard Brompton carrier block. So that was a bummer. I'll probably just go back to the ole Brompton backpack that I used on the first Camino ride.

The winner has been the Blackburn Outpost 6.5L dry sack. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than the Brompton version and I wanted it to hold my rain jacket and pants– something I want to keep with me but I don't necessarily need to have at the ready. I found on the last trip that I only fold the Brompton when I take it inside the hotel. Even when we stopped for lunch, we just leaned our bikes next to something.
