Recently, the cumulative stresses of #iRad work reached a fever pitch, & I began itching for some adventure. I planned out a 150 mile (240 km) route from Denver into the mountains to camp. I asked around, but no one else could go, so it became my first solo #bikepacking trip.
But first! I would have to pack. And I'm a VERY slow packer for these trips. There's a LOT to put on a bike for a trip like this. Bags on the frame, handlebar, fork, seat, top top, etc. I calculated I needed to carry 2.5 L of H2O and planned to filter river water several times.
