Just a tip, put all the dry freeze food in 1 liter resealable zip bags. Saves on weight and volume because you can ditch the individual packaging. Same with nuts, ...
Just missed you by a couple of days, I was doing the Scotland section of the GB Divide, great job on the win, hope the midges didn't drive you too crazy!
Which DHB jacket is that Josh? I've looked online and can't narrow it down. Thanks for the detailed breakdown, really interesting. Good luck with the ride.
Good luck josh , look forward to seeing how you and the race get on ! . Ps I just did my first ever bike pack last weekend which was on the SDW !, did it in 2 wild camp nights and 2 and and half days, really enjoyed it and very knackered at the end 🤣 afterwards I wondered what the quickest time was , and found out you had the record for there and back in an very impressive silly time of around 16 to 17hrs , wonder if u still hold the honour ? Best of luck for your next adventure 👍🙂
I wonder how long you would have to cycle where the calorific cost of carrying the food exceeds it's value. I feel like GBduro this year is getting close to that being an issue.
Hi Josh, who did the Custom Holder for the stove on the seatbag? I‘m looking for something like this. Is it specifically for this seatbag or could be used as well witz a relevate spinelock as sn example…Thanks for feedback
Bit late to this video but I also have a Bokeh and Miss Grape bags, What width handlebars do you find work best with the large Tendril bag please? I want them wide enough to accomodate but I don't think I want to go as wide as the Venturemax XL (52cm?)
Josh did an awesome job with his win, definitely some type 2 fun at times haha. Was just wondering if anyones knows about the dhb waterproof jacket with a hood?, been looking for a lightweight small jacket with a hood but cant see dhb do one?
Give this a thumbs up so it stays visible and everyone can watch the race tracking :) www.theracingcollective.com/gbduro.html#tracking Quite cool seeing how many riders rode across the country to the start!
Hello mate, all the best with the ride. Would you like some coffee bags from sports barista. Designed for this very purpose and the best caffeine product on the market. Foiled bags and small. Fraser
Ditch as many dry bags as you can and learn to just stuff into waterproof bags. You'll save a little weight, but more critically - you'll save loads of time.
@@tinyadventuresbybike9796 When you stuff you fill the whole volume of the thing your stuffing into. With dry bags you get lots of pockets of air and it takes much longer unstuff, stuff etc. It is much more effective and way more productive. Take some dry bags for little stuff like wash kit and electronics etc but the rest can be just stuffed.
Been a long distance touring cyclist for 30 years...carrying all of your food and wild sourcing all of your water sounds a very difficult procedure, I'd say doubling the difficulty. Few English or Welsh church's have outside taps and few mountain fountains in villages either unlike many other countries, which just leaves remote upland streams or pesticides, sheep piss and pollutants lower down. if it's hot people with either be knocking on doors, shopping or dying. Loaded roughstuff is incredibly thirsty work.
Good question. I'm flying into the UK shortly to do some bike packing and getting water is something I've wondered about. Here in Italy nearly all villages have a bar or a tap as well as most cemeteries. Last time I cycled in South Devon I don't remember seeing a lot of water sources, and I hate paying good money for water. What do British bike packers do? Drink their own p*** like Bear Grylls?
What"s the point of bikepacking when you have a bike which can accommodate racks and proper bags? Bikepacking is perfect for credit card touring, cycle snacking and hotel staying 😉😉😉
firstly bikepacking and touring are exactly the same thing. but your question about my choice of luggage is valid... i'm not a fan of a rack and pannier as they are fairly heavy and dont always perform well on rough bumpy terrain (can break over time!). You may notice the front racks and dry bags which are essentially front panniers... however, they are a little more flexible and using the voile straps to hold them on acts a little like suspension for the weight on the fork. Frame bags make total sense to me to utilize the dead space and keep the weight more evenly distributed on the bike. Yes you are correct that this bike could accommodate a rack... however not all bikes can so bikepacking bags offer a lot more flexibility. Finally and i guess the most important point is that this is how i like to travel! Others may prefer a rack and pannier set up and that's totally fine, at the end of day both set ups enable you to travel on your bike and enjoy all the benefits of that.hope that helps!
It's weird. I've got a 650ml titanium pot and I can't fit inside the same coffee filter Josh puts inside his pot so it must be wider. But I agree, it looks smaller than 1 litre
It would be great to see a breakdown of how the gear worked for you Josh. Good and bad.
Me and my girlfriend are watching your progress. It's Thursday (August 6th) and it seems you are still alive:)
Just a comment to appreciate the meticulous bike-posing at the start - nice!

Great setup! Seems to be working well, given your progress.
Good luck. Will be following you online. 🤞
Amazing set up. Nice cockpit too..
Just missed you by a couple of days, I was doing the Scotland section of the GB Divide, great job on the win, hope the midges didn't drive you too crazy!
I've drunk out of puddles too. However in my case I was still half cut from a night out in Port Stanley.....😄
Didn't know they had pubs in port Stanley

Well if u r the jack russell in the photo I'm not surprised 🤣
@@Foxtrottangoabc they do say dogs resemble their owners right enough
@@kennymacm3031 Jack Russell's are awesome 👍🙂
Good luck. Remember to enjoy it.
All the best of luck josh stay safe out there 👌🚴♂️👍🏻💪🏕🔥....colin🏴
Good luck Josh! I’ll be watching!
So hard 2020... your bike amazing
nice setup josh, I love my half zip sleeping bag they are very practical
Best of luck, Josh!
Thanks for the overview of your bike and kit. Best of luck and look forward to seeing how it all pans out.
Great tyre good luck .
Incredible amount of food! Thanks for the video
Good luck buddy and I hope it’s going well for you 👍
So nice bike.
Good luck! (may the wind be ever in your back :-)
Good luck with the GBDuro! How many calories does the safety pizza have? 🤣
I didn't get that desperate!!!!
Good luck, looks like weather might be ok 👍👍
Good luck hope all goes well
GO JOSH ! !
GO JOSH ! !
Which DHB jacket is that Josh? I've looked online and can't narrow it down. Thanks for the detailed breakdown, really interesting. Good luck with the ride.
Also very interested on which jacket this is, can't seem to find it online - the hood is a must have!
its the packable mtb jacket which is unfortunately discontinued for now
Great video good luck josh!
Well done!
Wow, that volume of food! Good luck Josh - you seem to be on the run-in to Wrexham about now....
Looks good
All the best dude . Stay safe . Smash it !

@@MozzySails pretty epic 👍🙂
Interested to know why you swopped from SRAM to Shimano?
Nice setup Josh, very well documented and neat, good luck ;-)
Thanks for the gear check. The fork drybags remind me of sea to summit bags since I can't find them on the Miss Grape website.
I wonder how long you would have to cycle where the calorific cost of carrying the food exceeds it's value. I feel like GBduro this year is getting close to that being an issue.
it was no problem... just needed a bit of planning
Good luck!
JOsh. Can you remember what tyre pressures you were running for this set up? Thanks again, Stevie :-)
Great vid
you might like the Teravail Sparwood 29x2.2 or Rene Herse Fleecer Ridge both are pretty much a 2.2 fast-ish gravel tire.
Good luck.
Good luck 🤜
Good luck

Hi Josh - can I ask you what the little rear dynamo light is / was on this bike? Thank you : )
Good luck and have fun.
Can you tell me what cassette you have. I have been looking for a 10-42 for my GRX setup
Thanks
Josh, what model DHB jacket were you using? Would you use the same jacket on the TD?
6:20 - why do you prefer with bottles in the frame? Does sidewind play a role?
Hey Josh, can you explain the need for the rubber band around the SPOT?
I rode with a similar set up but what straps are on the front bags? I wish you luck and as always lovely set up
they are voile straps
Good luck! I can't see the tracking link at the moment, will that appear once the race starts?
Como me gustan esas bolsas laterales color naranja Que marca son ?Donde puedo conseguirlas ? Por favor

they are lezyne cages

What brand/Make/model are those cargo fork cages?
looks like salsa or Topeak

Cant go to shops, really? I remember last year's riders could use hotels, bars's anything they wanted!! Isn't this race extreme enough as it is??
Hi Josh
What sort of waterproof shorts do you use?
gore
my pessimistic prediction is that no one completes this without using a shop... too many things can go wrong
I assume you saw the race tracker?!
Midgies not mosques!
That’s a 500ml pot.
It's weird. I've got a 650ml titanium pot and I can't fit inside the same coffee filter Josh puts inside his pot so it must be wider. But I agree, it looks smaller than 1 litre
its a 900ml alpkit pot... sorry my bad
nope defiantly a 900ml
