Arizona trail bikepacking: A detailed breakdown of an ultra racing mtb setup
I just got back from an ITT on the AZT800, unfortunately a foot of snowpack halted me at around mile 500 so I wasn't able to finish. nonetheless here is the kit and equipment I used to stay on record pace for the first 5 days.

2 minutes Spain? it was almos 30% of the total....
Yeah I know I lost all my footage :(
Incredible! share the tracks please! :) Spanish living in Norway
You threw up? Great now keep going. Have you never pushed yourself to exhaustion before? Once you have nothing in your stomach, you won't throw up and you can push even harder. Use the pain to your advantage. Hate yourself for pushing yourself so hard. Gather that energy and focus it.
Oh yeah I’ve done that before thing is it’s not the fastest way to get to the finish line that’s still 1800km away. You are better off recovering from the bug and getting over it properly
That pass looks crazy.
Please turn down the brain rot music
Very interesting but I can barely understand what you say with the loud music
Followed you on dot watch Angus and u came back strong for last half of race . Was a great effort
nice
Insane!!!
What a load of pish.
Wow i watched the 1 video how you did your setup and this one after! Just really impressive achievement! Unbelievable great trip! So it was round about 245km and 2500hm per day!!! Just Unbelievable! 🎉💪🏻🥳👍🏻In the vidoe at 17:45 you looked so completely done, dirty and wracked! How may hours did you even sleep per night and how was the hygiene part? Did you even wash your clothes and could you even get a shower at this trip or just lakes and fountain water to keep you a bit clean? Could you also say what of the equipment was good and what not? What did you miss and what would you pack differently? Best regards Julia
I got around 4 hours per night and stayed in a hotel maybe once a week to wash myself and clothes in the shower etc.
@angusyoung-enduranceathlete Wow 4 hours of sleep is really not a lot after so many miles and evaluation and keep going day after day! This must have been really hard
Hi Angus, this exactly setup what i was looking for. I will go on 10000km Europe trip and didn't want to be packed up so much like the most gravelers and carry too much stuff with me. I didnt want any sidebags or so except waterbottels like you had. I never saw somebody who rolled thair sleeping setup like this and this looked brilliant!🎉 I'll definitely try it out. Do you have a video or some comments how your trip went and how your setup was? Did you miss anything or would've done it differently? I hope you had a great time and manged the trip save! Best regards Julia
Hi Julia, The only yhtink i think i would change for this trip wold be a suspension fork as it was pretty rough at times but that is more of a route specific change. for "gravel" this was spot on.
@angusyoung-enduranceathlete I see! I thought the same that it would be really hard to ride in the Spain and Portugal at this gravel parts. I'll hopefully experience this in 2026. So you made a good setup and thanks for responding.
If you come ride in the Appalachian’s you’ll have ridden all of this mountain chain on three continents!
Thats pretty cool, Im sure that i will get round to it one day!
How much water capacity did you have? 4 liters?
5 plus I could carry a 2L coke or something on my fork rack
Hey Angus. On the top tube at the rear it look kind you have a tool wrap? If so what one is it please ?
It’s the restrap hike-a-bike harness. It allows you to carry your bike like a backpack.
What an awesome adventure! Amazing that tire patch held :)
Yeah, especially as I snapped my needle before I finished so there was a reasonably sized hole left.....
Lovely breakdown! do you have a link to check out that "string-spoke equivalent"? first time I see one
www.sjscycles.co.uk/spokes/fiber-fix-emergency-replacement-spoke/ This is the one I use, always handy to carry.
Good fun. We oldies in our 60s rode e-bikes between Gibraltar and Nordkapp in 2023. We rode 6,000km.
Love it!
@@angusyoung-enduranceathlete My wife's view is that we should do these things while our bodies let us. We toured in France in 1994 as a delayed honeymoon and have, in the last couple of years (on ebikes), ridden the Tour Aotearoa and Tour Kopiko routes in New Zealand. Worth googling to see. The TA is 3,000 km long, but we found the Kopiko (at only 1,200 km, tougher going as it traverses some isolated parts of the North Island (code of poor roads). Come down and see!
Who cares
We cares
You cared enough to comment.
Hey angus, any recommedations for chain tool?
I just use the park tools one br there are probably lighter ones out there
Great video ! Love your kit's explaination ! Thanks ! The audio quality sounds good to me :)
Glad to hear it!
Great video. Restrap make an exposure trace mount that you could put on your seat stay and eliminate the dropper issue
Yeah thats a good shout, I did think of this ad do have one but as I bwas packing I could find it!
Yes thanks for showing your setup and the bike looks good ! .would be good to see jow u repaired your tyre , though im still on inner tubes , should give tubeless ago :) recently setup waterbottle frame bag like yours as bottle use to be under bag and has been collecting loads of uk mud . So im hoping the bottle will be cleaner behind the bag :)
Happy days, Ill get that done!
Nice break down Angus. Question how much did your bike and kit weigh? Cheers Conrad
Not sure exactly but I would guess around 18kg
Hello there europe treking th-cam.com/video/lhO5Mg7d20M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NcGERYOBlxHhx8kY
That was epic!
Hello! May I ask which size bike yours is? And how talll you are? Thanks 😊
I’m 184cm and that’s a size L
Very insightful video, thanks. What pressure did you run the 2.6s at? I've just fitted a pair and I can't get the pressure right. I'm concerned about going too low.
For me (75kg plus a loaded bike) around 20-23) you will know you are too low when you feel them squirm in a corner
Cool non-sealed Sealant. Well done Meg!
Thanks! 😊
Looks like you have 28 and 30mm internal rim widths. How did the wide Mezcal 2.6s work on those? I've been wanting to try them but have been worried that 28mm is too narrow.
Yeah it’s works fine, not the best cornering stability but I run an insert so it’s ok.
great video folks, thanks!
Great effort guys, congrats!
Thanks!
Can you till how much it cost you as expenses? What bike u ride? It would be nice to have video to break this video into more in preparation stage. Thanks and congrats on your achievement. Iam planing for 5800KM and I do not know from where to start as preparation.
Hi I have a video up that goes into all of my kit etc. that might help
One of the best shorts I’ve watched - some great photos and video! Nice one 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Even thinking got me terribly scared
Its nice I went for a drive but its still scary - I got used to it! 😂
Monumental achievement Angus ! 😜
🌍🚵♂ Exploring the world on two wheels never looked so good! This video is a treasure, and it's proudly being added to our collection. Fantastic work! 🚀
Glad you enjoyed it!
You looked pretty stinky at the end😜
Amazing stuff!! When did you set off?

EF needs to team you up with Lachlan Morton
Phenomenal video. Can you mention a bit about navigation...which device did you use? Is the Komoot site the place to find the best maps? thanks !
I used a garmin edge 530, well two actually as it’s always good to have a spare. It is super easy to pull the maps from Komoot across to it.
an amazing accomplishment, beautifully told. Thank you!
See you there
Good luck on atlas, say hi to my mate David's for me!
Go for it!
Nutters!
Congratulations on this epic achievement! 💪
Great video thanks
Brilliant inspirational film. Im planning on doing this next year. How did you get to the start?
I had to fly to roveniemi then hitch but that was only because the kirkness flight was cancelled due to strikes
