What bike and equipment would you take on your bikepacking adventure?

I love you guys, but i watched this video to see your recommendations on mat, tent, and sleeping bag. If you don't want to name a non-sponsored brand, that's fine, but at least some tips on finding a good one? I did appreciate the tip on removing the inner liner of the tent at least!

I definitely understand that work is work, no matter what it is, but it's got to be a good day when you're asked "Hey, think you could go ride a bike in Tuscany?"

I ride in Tuscany every week (I live in Livorno), mtb, but these vids about gravel riding are fantastic. I love riding long rides, mainly fire roads and singletrack when I do. Doesn’t matter what you ride, just get out and enjoy yourself. My dream is to do a bikepack tour around the island of Elba.

Those PH hydration tabs are an absolute life saver! I took about 40 for an ultra race earlier this year, for a supply that lasted me a little over 5 days. One word of advice: they will quickly turn to dust if you leave them rattling in that plastic tube container. Carry those tablets in a ziplock bag - that will save a few grams as well 👍

Can confirm your experience with the Wahoo Roam. Last year, I took it on a 4-day bikepacking trip and decided to see how far it would go without a charge. Our route was just shy of 400 km, and it lasted until about 20km before the end on the last day. Pretty outstanding. On longer tours, I tend to charge it every other night just so I don't stress about battery life, but even so, it rarely gets under 50%. I'd be pretty confident on taking it on a 3-day trip without the need to recharge. I do wish Wahoo would come out with a solar equivalent, like the 1040 solar. But overall, I'm super happy with it.

Time line / chapters: Colnago Grizl? Could be interesting

It would be interesting to hear how this campag groupset compares with the Shimano equivalent which Conor has ridden

Very nice video. What would you change in your set up if you didn't have as many resupply points?

What brand is your small sleep mat?
All mine are too big, and I can’t find a tiny one?

Is that a standard Garmin Varia seatpost mount affixed to the seatstay or something else? Did it seem secure? Hack or bodge?

How tall are you and what size Canyon do you ride. What is the exact model frame? I’m 6’2” and looking to buy a gravel, most likely the bike you ride in the Tuscany video. Thanks

I think you need to have Connor come to Ragbrai end of July it’s in its 51st year dare I say it probably has more cycling participants in the course of its annual week event than any other.
