My dad and I have done a ~1 week long tour each year since he retired, I put this luggage together for Vermont gravel, but ended up on a much more 'touring' oriented ride, following PA Bike Route L, and getting off the highway as much as possible in favor of gravel roads and rail/canal trails.

I made the front triangle bag last minute, it ended up being a great place for my pump, kitchen stuff, and raingear.

Up front is a 15L dry bag with a tacticool 'admin pouch' which is attached via MOLLE to the voile straps, it has a map-pocket and nice organizers for typical handlebar bag stuff.

P.S. first post on Lemmy, woo! Also wow struggle with images

Welcome to the (Lemmy) club!

That looks like a great setup, I'm sure you had fun with it. The bike's a beauty as well!

I'm waiting for cooler weather to come my way, so I can put together a trip. Pedaling in >43°C is no fun, let me tell you.

Yikes, this trip was humid, but only around 32C.

The bike is great. It's a convertible tandem/single, so it's quite confident loaded down on rough roads and trails!
