What?

Travelling any sort of distance without a support crew means I have to take everything on my bike that I could need. This is also balanced off against weight, so I will be packing as lightly as possible whilst still keeping the essentials.

For now, here's a list of everything I'll be taking with me on my JOGLE ride:
