Hi everyone! I'm 25 years old and planning my second bikepacking trip this summer. It's from Munich to Lake Garda. Last late summer, I cycled from Lake Constance to Salzburg. Back then, I had two huge panniers on my rack and generally way too much gear. I want to change that this time.
This summer, I want to go ultralight bikepacking. But it should still be manageable.
I already have a rack and a frame bag (see picture).
I want to take a tent, a sleeping mat, and a sleeping bag, but otherwise limit myself to the essentials. So no stove or other cooking equipment. Just clothes for the evenings and for cycling, and gear for overnight stays.
Do you have any tips on how much packing volume I need? Which bags would you recommend to go with my current ones, and how can I achieve the slimmest and lightest possible setup? Thank you so much for your help!
