Retrobike Touring.

Re: Retro MTB Touring.

Interesting, I take the opposite approach to retroyetiguy and simply take a tube of travel wash. I run with two sets of cycling clothes (one worn, the other drying) plus some civvies for the evening. A rubble bag does as a washing bowl if the campsite has no showers or basins.

I leave Tuesday morning. Four days three nights. Solo. Subject to forecast.

Hey Trebz, it's all your fault!

Good luck! I hope the weather behaves and you have a great tour.

Been test loading the bike. I think I've overdone it. :facepalm:

Solo camping should be in the 15kg plus or minus a couple of kg range for luggage. If you are over 20kg then you have too much stuff...

Wherever the road takes me................. (Narrows eyes, Looks into distance)

Actually, down to slimbridge, then across Severn bridge to tintern, then up to near Abergavenny, then to Brecon where mrs HM has said she will pick me up. Or will she?

Bike is heavy. Off out for a little spin later to see how it handles. Got half a pannier spare for rock and souvenirs. (of 4).

That looks like more than I'd need for 4 days.

In fact, that looks like more than I'd need for a fortnight.
