If you don't already have one, get a seat pack ?

Having ridden in Spain I wouldn't want anything on my back. I was a sweaty mess cycling in late afternoon/early evening in September

Yeah. Sardinia. 6 days mtb. Was fine. Had a change of clothes. Some tools and a camelback. Plus phone wallet etc. Important. V important to have a waste and chest strap done up so that the weight of the pack is not on your shoulders. You should have a gap between shoulder and straps. A bum bag for bits n pieces saves a lot of hassle too. Enjoy.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
