    Bonus shot of camp this morning :)

    This is the first time using bags instead or rack and panniers, and I don’t know if I’m sold or not. Also, I massively overpacked so my legs are currently on fire and I’m typing this from a ditch on the side of the road.

      This is gorgeous and definitely the kind of view I chase when I tour. May I ask what corner of the globe you’re in?

        Absolutely, this is the view from kaituna, about 30km south of chch NZ (though I made sure to take the long way around to make the trip worth it ;) )

          Sick, I’ve always heard great things about NZ, and all the Kiwis I’ve met were delightful. It’s high up on my list of places to visit. Hope you have a nice summer!

        Its mainly just the radius of the drybags making it more difficult than panniers just to shove stuff into lol. Maybe I’ll get used to it, we’ll see :)

      Not sure tbh, I think advocates like them because they feel more secure to the bike, and weigh less. I think panniers will remain my go to for day-to-day stuff, a lot easier to just ram everything in without thinking too hard.

      I’m looking a lot doing a long ride soon which has a fair bit of thin trail and single track riding so thought I’d give it a go :)
