Spirit of Girona / L’Esperit de Girona (SOG / LEdG?)

In hindsight, I could've ditched the 2 feedbags of food and put two bottles of drink mix in those instead, carrying a bit more food in my Camelbak.

If you wanted higher risk, you could lose the tubes and just deal with TL repair.

Could've run dyno and lost a battery pack and my Six Pack front light. The front roll needs to be adjusted otherwise the front light hides the front wheel so helmet lights were better anyway.

Ditch the bivvy and have bigger sleep pad and sleeping bag only (as it was I forgot most of my sleep kit and had to borrow James's before the event anyway). Ditch the undershirt I wore all day and instead maybe swap it for gilet at night (something else I forgot to bring).

I'd probably change my 20 year old MTB gloves - maybe just use mitts. After the start there wasn't much "finger bashing" anyway. I still had some residual tingling from Mille du Sud that probably would've got worse.

I'd likely change that SID gripshift suspension lockout to a simpler lever so I had my full grip width, didn't keep bumping the button and it didn't rotate into my brake lever.

A smaller rear light would mean less interference with the dropper post but it's all I had.

I'd also hoped the Wolftooth Valais would allow me to run my Viscacha saddlebag but that wouldn't work so I'd look at getting a larger saddlebag that still works (or a Tailfin, as I'm sure James will mention soon :P) so I could put some more of the lighter, bulkier stuff in the saddlebag and reduce the size of the front roll a bit to help with the light clearance.

Also, don't be a fat fuck (too late) and don't shit your pants and do way too much leading up to the big, scary event...

Thanks for the (before it all went to shit) photo, Aga...
