I packed as conservatively as I could, taking into account the Northern European winter weather.
A Specialized Roubaix SL8 equipped with different frame bags and a few quirky bits of equipment, I was super happy with my choices.
Here’s my setup!

Thanks for posting up Jack. Inventory been checking in every couple of days hoping for a new upload. This trip and your Camino sound great!
-
Loved following your trip day by day. Looked seriously fun. I hope you'll have a blast tomoz mate. That rear rack is really cool. Gonna have to have a closer look at something like that for my holiday tours.

Yay, he’s back! For a long time I hope.

Great vid Jack, I’m looking forward to your experience with the 165mm cranks. The trip is a great way to test this out. Enjoy the ride & we will all look forward to the footage from it.

this channel needs to explode, let's go!!

I like your style. My tent is also a credit card.

Fantastic to see you hitting the road after the monster Munda Biddi in 40degC!! Everything in your packing list makes sense, apart from your children’s toothpaste 😂 what’s with that?!? Will be following you all the way from the Perth hills!

Safe travels…don’t forget a lock and an air tag
-
Good luck
-
thanks for putting this together, no surprises I guess, though you madde tyre boots out of old tyres? not seen that before, good idea.
-
Nice info from the background! What about the additional riding clothes? Five days of cycling without changing your jersey/bib make it easier to find a free spot next to the cobbles for sure. 😂 But can’t really believe this is how you deal with this. Washing every night or what? Thanks for keeping us motivated! I bet most of us can pick a few new ideas from each and every video!

Great preparation. but why use high aero wheels which are effective around 40km/h for ultra heavy duty like a hiker? At the risk of experiencing gusts of wind, sides to climb. (I'm not making any judgment, just a question)
-
Nice set up. I've just picked up a used Roubaix sl7 and looking forward to taking it on a 1000km race in the summer called the Solstice Sprint. Did the ride on this go well?
-
Would love to see links to your gear in the description!
-
Been loving the video! What is your absolute favorite saddle for training and those long rides? I also have a big butt haha.
