About to embark on my first trip, 3 days from North Rim Grand Canyon to Utah border on the AZT. Pictured is my loaded bike, would appreciate some input on packing (tried a few different things, this feels best)
– handlebars: tent, footprint, sleeping pad, rain jacket, merino sweater
– half frame: camp clothes
– top tube: cell phone, headlight, pocketknife, sunglasses
– seat: tools/tube (at the bottom), sleeping bag on top of that (having a hard time getting a compressed shape that fits anywhere else, feels like a ton of wasted space)
– small backpack: dehydrated food, water filter, toilet paper
– other: 2L nalgene on frame, grav water filter bag holds up to 3L more in my pack
Very stoked and hope this sets the stage for fill AZT next year
