I know this might vary a bit as to what type of trip you are going on, but what equipment do you usually take with you for a ride sesh?
Do you prefer to travel light or are you the biking equivelant of a scout?

bit of both... depends if there's a shoot going on. usually it's whatever can fit in my camelbak, so on a good day, just a couple of drinks, the G9, chocobar money, jumper, etc... otherwise it's the full on camcorder, battery pack and the above - ow... me back! Either way, I don't mind - you pack your bag for the day and that's it ) |

Usually its just a load of food, drink, energy drinks and a camcorder.
I rely on Dobby to bring everything else bike maintenance related, as he has everything bike maintenance related lol. _________________ Let's go Man! |

That's cool is that one of those dakine bags?
Ususally I just take the camera, water (a bad combo in one bag!) and a multi tool. Sometimes a puncture repair kit if i'm feeling clever. One time we got so fed up with punctures in the Alps I rode for a day with a car foot pump! Qiute heavy in the end. _________________

I carry everything plus the kitchen sink , probably a bit ott , but the best thing i bought is the CO2 inflator saves all that pumping and is a lot smaller in your bag . _________________ Looking good going slow |

its a fox bag, not sure what model tho.
its pretty damn strong too, ive had it about 4 years now. its been to the alps, scottland and all other places around here. and its still holding up well.
i was up herts at the weekend and had a tent strapped to it, with loads of crap stuffed inside it aswell.
its got more pockets/compartments than you can shake a stick at, they all come in handy. ill still be using it in years to come.
