A brief in a single day mountain bike tour is an effective way to get out and benefit from the magnificence that may be discovered not too removed from your personal house. The trick to touring with a mountain bike is touring with as little weight as you may. Whereas it’s doable to hold giant masses and navigate with relative ease on street touring expeditions, touring on sandy filth roads and rocky single-track trails with a fully-loaded mountain bike isn’t practically as simple.
That mentioned, here’s a pattern packing record for a brief 2-day, 1-night mountain bike tour:
1 mountain bike
1 mountain bike rack (the Freeload tour rack and pannier frames may be mounted on entrance, rear or full-suspension mountain bicycles)
2 panniers (Lone Peak or Arkel panniers are what I like to recommend for off-road touring)
1 tent (the tent pictured above is an REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus)
1 sleeping mat
1 light-weight sleeping bag
2 water bottles (mounted to the body of your bicycle)
Additional water (if there’s little or no water within the space you intend to journey via)
1 spare tube
2 tire levers
1 small bike pump
1 small patch equipment
1 multi-tool
1 helmet
1 pair of SPD mountain bike sneakers
2 pairs of socks
1 light-weight bicycle jersey
1 pair of bicycle shorts
1 pair of underwear (or 2 for those who refuse to put on the identical pair for 2 days in a row)
1 t-shirt (to put on round camp and sleep in)
1 pair of light-weight shorts (to put on round camp and sleep in)
1 headlamp
1 cellphone
1 digital digital camera
1 map (a map will not be wanted if the map is saved as a digital file in your digital camera and/or cellphone)
Meals that doesn’t must be cooked (thus decreasing your want for a range, gasoline, lighter, utensils, and many others.)
Bear in mind: It is a record of stuff you COULD convey with you on a brief 2-day mountain bike tour, not essentially stuff you SHOULD convey with you. It’s totally doable to journey with an entire lot lower than this, however for most individuals, it is a record of things that’s really helpful for each an excellent expertise within the outdoor and a certain quantity of consolation whereas tenting at evening. Extra gadgets could possibly be added to this record as effectively, however conserving your weight as little as doable is really helpful.
