Hey, I´m planning to do this bikepacking trip with a tent. This trip is quite spontaneous because of a time slot that opened unplanned between Work and Uni. So i´m gonna start already in a few days and wanted to make it in about 4 weeks. I plan to do about 100km a day and some few rest days. Do you guys have any expierences on this route or recommendations? I´m also not sure about the route at the coast from Genua to Cannes. It looks very beautiful but also very busy. Is it bicycle friendly? Thank you :) https://preview.redd.it/obofkx2ny8yc1.png?width=1466&format=png&auto=webp& ..read more

But I’m new to mtb so not sure where my opinion stands. For w ..read more

I've never been bikepacking but I've seen some bikepackers at the colorado trail waterton canyon section. I thought about doing it but the smallest pack I have is a 30 liter I also have a 75 liter but I think it'll be too big to carry on bike. The bike I'm taking will be a kona cinder hardtail. My sleeping bag (Big Agnes Anvil Horn 0) barely fits in the pack but it'll only be for 1 night. Any thoughts or tips on starting to bikepack? submitted by /u/Interesting_Ice4473 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am planning to go bikepacking with my hardtail this year. I still do not have a bag or tent. I have no clue what to chose. There are so many options. I found Bag: Altus Andes 400 Z80 for (400g~100€) Tent: Ferrino Lightent Pro 2 (1650g ~200€) Would this be a good and light weigt summer combo for the price? Or should i try a tarp setup? submitted by /u/MaxOnetake [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
