Epic trip! Both those bags both look fantabulous.

I'd also be too nervous to go that light.

My favourite survival bits are:

Fluffy merino sleeveless vest, close fitting. Buy far too small then cut under each armpit to make it fit. I often carried two as they give so much warmth for the weight.

Long johns - city undie type made for warmth and lightness, not the tough and heavy tramper's ones. They might only be made for girls, I got mine secondhand.

And for those unexpected evening sleepovers: ;)

Goose down jacket, if you can keep it dry. So much yummy warmth in such a tiny package.

Goretex bivvy bag, a glorified sleeping bag cover with mosquito protection. Keeps you untormented, dry and out of the wind.

Double post, but hey, i dont care.....
Just back from first over nighter with the kids up rimutaka incline. Twas great. Kids carried sleeping mats, sleeping bags and clothes. I split the rest my darling wife. The two tents sleeping bag, mat, beers, clothes and food on my bike felt a bit cumbersome. Lucky its an easy trail. Cant wait for the next bike packing adventure with them.

Nice one yak, am hoping to the same with my kids this summer

trail builders make me woot. I rode out at Belmont this morning, bumped into "Paul" who was enthusiastically showing us where to go, putting signage up, and talking about his blown berms on Bull Run.
Then this afternoon, nearly slid into a happy englishman on Seredipity who was digging a new gap in the middle section in the pouring rain. All you volunteers rock.
