Please tell us more! Weight of bike, laden and unladen? And what's it like in a bivvy bag? Is it worth the weight and space saving vs a tent.
nick_h.-
Never tracked the weight. I got lucky with the weather - by that I mean whenever I was setting up/dropping campsite it was never raining although did get my sleeping bag a bit wet at the foot area one night due to overnight rain. Saving was more in space than weight with the bivvy fitting top compartment of my frame bag albeit compressed with some voile straps.

Bivvy + meths cooking stove. Could probably have cut back a little on warm clothing (weather was pretty mixed when I started out) but pretty happy with set up.
