12 Sleeps to go

With only 12 sleeps to go I'm planning on packing my bike on the weekend. I have managed to ride the bike fully loaded and it rides very well. Quite stable. I did however forget to take a photo so will have to post a shot when I'm actually touring.

My touring weight is to be around 25 kg. I have around 4 kg in both my large front panners and both bags are full. The smaller second bags hold only 2 kg each and I room for food and extra clothing. The dry duffel bag on the back rack will hold around 7 kg but is not full, I have plenty of room to put extra items. My water bag holds around 3 kg and the rest of the weight is to be made up of food.

I'll post a list of what I'm carring as soon as I have packed it all and know what is where! Perhaps I'll even get a photo or two out...
