Hi Everyone! Okay this is actually my first post, just found this site the other day and it's pretty cool. Not many people bike pack from my home town and usually only talk to people that do when we actually head out on trips. I've been bike packing with my brother and best friend for a few years now and we all love it, definitely our number 1 hobby. Now, I know most people seem to set up around an MTB rig but we are die hard road cycles. Biggest trip we have done so far was 1200km in 8 days around Georgian Bay, in which we accomplished in August last year. We still do our share of dirt roads and hate them but we like long distance and speed so don't MTB. Weight is our number 1 concern lol and try to keep things down as much as we can. Just wondering what you guys do to keep warm at night. Usually we just deal with the cold and try and live through it but some nights get so bad I'm looking for a light and warm option. We used SOL survival bags for emergency on our last trip last year which are uncomfortable, but work until moisture sets in... Any ideas would be great! Even if you don't have one and just wanna talk about rigs and stuff thats cool too! We've yet to meet anyone that does bike packing on a road bike but I'm sure I'll find someone on this site. Thanks All!
