I'm a pretty experienced rider/camper, but as I load up my commuter for my first overnight I'd love any advice y'all have!
Will be swapping in 650ml water bottle and packing two 1l pouches for refill, got GU and profood bars on deck.
Sleep system is older half dome (grabbed the wrong one from storage) sans fly, with sleeping pad, lightweight bag, inflatable pillow. I'm sure I'll PTFO anyways.
General repair/flat/pump kit, some extra underwear and maybe a shirt, backup battery, hygiene stuff, sunscreen, and I need to grab some whiskey
Thanks!
P.S. cat tax

What type of ride/tour is this a shakedown for? I ask because a 200mile shakedown seems like a lot unless you have a very specific goal/item you are trying to shake down for that kind of milage. Do you have a backup or a bailout incase something goes wrong? 200 miles can put you far from home if something goes wrong.
Did you forget to book a sleep spot halfway on the STP?
