Wife and I getting ready for our first trip out. Will be two nights 3 days of ridding mostly on the White Pine Trail between Grand Rapids and Cadillac. This is a mostly paved dedicated bike trail (no single track). Wifes bike has a rack and 2 x 10L Panniers with total weight of around 18lbs. Mine is rack and 2 x 20L panniers and total weight around 25lbs. Is this too much weight on the back? Should I try to move some of the weight to the front of the bike (handlebar bag?). If so how much?

Holly Molly that’s a lot of stuff for three nights… good luck!
It’ll be fine as is. Weight distribution is mostly a personal preference issue, especially at those low weights.
