I just went on my first bike packing trip and I am in love! I packed way to much first of all. I had a big sky soul 1p tent which worked really well just a lot of condensation (might have been my fault). I realized my head is supposed to be by the door and feet where I had my head and I'm sure I didn't stake out the fly properly for ventilation. The sleep system is a zenbivy light sheet and quilt which I can't say enough good things about. A cheap Amazon air mattress which will be upgraded soon, but honestly not bad. It got down to 50 fahrenheit and I was sleeping soundly in a T-shirt and sweat pants. I rode 60 miles up, went on a 40 mile ride around where I stayed, and 60 miles back home. I have ortlieb front packs and ortlieb quick rack and back roller core panniers. No movement or shaking and the bike was heavy! Once I got moving though not much difference then just being on a regular bike ride. The cook system was another thing that I was very happy with. A fire maple pot and stove. Sorry I didn't take to many pictures. I had a great time though. I Will be going in a few weeks to get this thing dialed in.
