Cool great info, thanks. Any particular time i CANT ride the first 30 miles due to weather? I was thinking its year round biking, am I wrong?
In terms of tires how many flats or at least punctures should i expect! i plan on using tubeless obviously! should I add more Stan's to my tires before hand?
As always thanks for the feedback!

A little off topic here, but I'm Considering the 300 this year! Just getting into long rides like this. I finished the CT in 10 days this past August not racing but enjoying it. I guess I'm Curious what kind of terrain I'm dealing with! How would you compare the riding to say......Loma, Moab, Fruita, and Sedona? I live in Crested Butte but wondering where I need to train this winter. Thanks again!

hello, I've been doing a lot of research on a good saddle for Long Rides and Bikepacking, I have a stock trek saddle that's been giving me problems. I ride with Sugoi Bibs That have plenty of protection. I've heard a lot about WTB Saddles and was looking at Lazer V and Rocket V saddles. any suggestion you guys might have would be very Helpful!  |

If you go with a bag like the Big Agnes, with a pad sleeve on the bottom, and slide your pad in it, it may help keep the bag in place. I have slid my pad between my bivy bag and sleeping bag when cold weather hammocking, and keeps the bag in place better.
Good luck!
I've never had a problem with my Big Agnes bag and pad. the pad slides right into the bag keeping insulation on the bottom and saving weight! win win! and when i twist and turn, which i do alot. The pad keeps the bag in place! Just and idea, but one of my best camping investments I've ever made!!! |

interesting...
Ive also done lots of research on bears in Colorado, and in more populated areas i think it would be a good idea to hang.
Side note:
does anyone not use a back pack and use just a seat back, frame bag, and handle bar bag??
I'm trying to figure out what combination i should use?

Hello,
So a buddy and I are going to thru bike the Colorado trail sometime between late July and early sept. I was wondering if anyone else has done the thru-bike. Our plan... which is completely still up in the air is to go from Denver to Durango, in 9 or so days? Not sure how to go about planning this fun expedition! We want to make it as simple as possible, camp, one or two re-rations, carry are own gear, etc.
questions i have:
Routes
Tough sections to be aware of.
Ultra Light bike packing, what packs to use for a full suspension bike??
tubes or tubeless
type of tires
gear list
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
or if anyone know resources that is helpful let me know
Thanks
