Should maybe include a list of disclaimers -- I don't necessarily recommend
following my tracks. But you can ride coast to coast just like this if
you're crazy enough and don't know the difference.

Hi all,
I love camping with the Medium saddlesack. I have enough just enough
clearance to run the bag without any support (first run 59 Clem, PBH 90.5),
but I have a Mark's rack back there now and like having the extra
stability. I have a cheap Soma rack upfront with a 137 Wald. For a three
Neil & Others,
The loop you are describing sounds super nice, have you done it before
(assuming yes, but want to confirm)?
The route I'm working on to Truckee/Donner is a climb-heavy route, maybe 2
days (only done sections for recon). Probably best not to ride western
states ;)
The route I
+1 I would love to see that route from Sac to Truckee. I was looking at a
route through Foresthill.

Collin, perhaps we could continue the thread drift a bit, because the 'east
side Lost Sierra' route you are describing has been of large interest to me
as well. My initial version is to ride from home (Rocklin) to Truckee,
north around Stampede Reservoir and generally along the HWY 89 corridor
Nice, glad the hunkering was rewarded with a lovely view of the mountain! I
was hoping to spend time this summer exploring the area, but that looks
less likely each week...
I met up with friends at summit lake for labor day weekend, then we drove
home.
I've been half-assing a route trying to
Thanks Collin! I've noodled the very southern end of that route on a
three-day loop out of Chester. Spent two days and nights hunkered down at
Manzanita Lake due to rain and snow. The weather cleared miraculously for
us and we boogied down through Old Station. I'll never forget the view

Thanks for the great write-up, photos, and maps! I’m saving that for future

Great thread, looks like most of the options are covered!
In honing my Riv-style dirtbagging setup, I've found it is very hard to
beat a front basket on a solid rack with a bungee net to handle overflow.
That is the core of my system, paired with a Carsick bartender bag and a
Swift burrito
Collin, I really dug the photos of your Clem, lots of great ways to camp on
that bike! Especially love the bottle behind the seat tube.
Would love to hear more about that Lava Beds route, if you could
elaborate...

Ian always said what you take for the weekend is the same as what you take

Here’s me for 2 nights. Tent in frame bag, food in front, everything else on

There is a huge wealth of information available on places like
bikepacking.com - there are a lot of fancy setups, but one of the
foundation principles of bike packing / touring is that ingenuity and
creativity is a great replacement for money. Also "bikepacking" is

I'm a big fan of the large voluminous bags that allow you to stuff all
sorts of things into them, rather than strapping all sorts of bags
everywhere; Think BagsxBird and Sackville saddle sacks. That being said, I
find that having one or two accessory bags strapped to the handlebars help

For an over-nighter, I usually do two rear panniers and something in the
front -- usually a basket or I strap a something to the bars.
It's nice to have more capacity than you need because you don't have to be
so fussy with packing. Throw stuff in the bike and go! If packing is too
tedious
I find it's pretty easy (ok really easy) to overpack panniers. I like a
Carradice camper sized saddle bag, 3 water bottles cages, one of which can
handle a 48oz nalgene if it's dry out or I won't be camping near a creek,
and a basket up front with a decent sized roll top bag. Plenty of space
Aren't the bikepacker-type of bags meant to make riding easier in bush, and
also to save a wee bit of weight for those who like minimalist camping?
Just curious; I agree that, if these aren't the reasons, I can't see why
you'd forgo racks and panniers. Racks and panniers are certainly better for
I'm a big fan of the traditional 2 pannier setup. All these special
bikepacking bags seem more hassle than they are worth.
Get a decent rack, like a Blackburn Grid (or something nicer if you're
feeling fancy) and a pair of Ortlieb backrollers and you're good to go for
a night or two. The
