I wrote about the build I chose and why I chose it here:

It may change to make it more "bikepacking friendly", suggestions are welcome for sure.

Here is my initial impressions ride report for week #1 after about 70 miles on the new bike:

I am in San Diego by the way and looking for good routes for my first bikepacking trip.  I have seen one route on this site in San Diego County around the Pine Valley, Noble Canyon, Cuyamaca area.  That looks like a good option, but it would be nice to try some routes closer to home in the western part of the county.  If you know a route and place to stay overnight, let me know.
