Eddy please take pics

Yes, Take pics please.

How about a pic of your set up to see how everything fits?

Have a good trip and I hope the wind is behind you!

Second day looks like a bit of a push?

How about a bag review when you finish? 

All the breast!

So jealous.

He should have some video when he is done.. I suspect it might be a time lapse sequence of the whole trip if he can figure out the cam in time

This.

 

But I will do what I can and will certainly take pics. Shamus sent me a k-edge mount for the Virb I got from Bidandbuy .

 

Day 1 is the longest, but flatish. Day 2 the shortest but ends over the Swartberg pass. Day 3 the toughest.

 

Together they should give me an unassailable lead in the biggest loser competition.....

Hey guys

 

Been following this thread for the last few days and thought I'd join in. 

 

Below is my setup for my 1st ever bikepacking trip. Doing a 2day/3night camping trip in the Vredefort dome outside Parys, starting next week.

Is that the compact Apidura seat bag or the regular?

Looks good.

 

Hope that rather new looking saddle is broken in...

Day 1 done. 121km from Willowmore to De Rust.

Looks good.  Well done.  Put some more miles in, there is still time?

Still envious!

(Thanks for pics, know that EXACT stretch of road)

Awesome and great pics.

Frame bag/ bottle setup doesn't look ideal...

You are right. It wirks well on my Swiss Cross but I only got it on the Niner the yesterday when I got down to the Karoo. I'll make another plan as I am not sure I want to use small bottles.

 

I think that for the amount of storage the frame bag has, it is not worth the hassle. But so we learn.
