Love that Sunday doesn't even register as a day, post stag touring sounds great, packing list looks good, do you have a small trowel for number 2's, I see you have bog roll. One thing I bought on a trip was a small tarp, didn't weigh much and was good for a quick shelter when it pissed it down or covered the bikes at night, probably more of a luxury, but if your mate is biviying he may already have such a thing!

Trowel is not a bad shout though we'll likely grab a morning coffee and pub lunch most days, so could drop then. Planning to have one or two campsite nights too for showers etc.
Mate has a tarp I believe.
I've been trial fitting stuff and can get my tent and sleeping mat in the bar bag. Tubes and tools in a bottle holder, so everything else will hopefully fit in the saddle bag. If not I might need to pick up a fuel bag for the top tube. I can really see the merits of a bivvy now when it comes to packing!

So I'm going on my first ever bike packing excursion with a good friend from home that's prepping for tcr.
I fly home (ireland) with bike Friday night, get battered at a stag Saturday night, then hit the road with my mate on Monday morning.
We're getting the first train from Dublin to Sligo to spend 5 days riding as much of the wild Atlantic way we can fit in.
Touring experts, what am I missing for a 5 day adventure:
Sleeping:
Tent, mat, sleeping bag
Off bike:
Merino t-shirt, down jacket, shorts, underwear x2, shoes, wooly hat
On bike:
Jersey x2, bibs x2, arm warmers, knee warmers, gloves, rain cape, base layers x2, socks x2, shoes, helmet, bike tools, tubes, quick links, lights
Other stuff:
First aid kit, knife, powerbank, baby wipes, microfibre towel, chamois creme, sun creme, bug repellent, toilet paper, soap, head torch, deodorant
Bear in mind space is very much at a premium right now. I've got a restrap bar and saddle bag which are already well packed. All sleeping stuff in saddle bag and maybe a few other bits, everything else in the front. Will likely just bring a single large water bottle and a tool bottle with tubes and tools.
It's a bit of a far cry from track racing...
