    First Bikepacking Trip: The Colorado Trail 535miles

    Last year I joined a medical device startup developing an non-invasive glucose monitor that unfortunately ran out of funding. Coincidentally two awesome people had some time to burn before starting a new job and starting grad school. What took place was the finest adventure of self torture we had ever embarked on.

    Here's Part I (works best in 1080p)

    It appears you had a few things on the bikes but carried most in a regular backpack. I take it that worked fine?

    We did have a lot on our backs. It really isnt ideal, but I didnt want to shell out 500+ dollars in bikepacking gear that I would rarely use.

    Heres a photo of how the bike looked.

    I maybe had anywhere from 25-35lbs on my back.

    Thanks, I have been looking into some way to do this and have never come up with what I thought looked good including the trailer things. I guess just like rappelling with a pack on....it is not ideal but can work. Thanks and glad it worked so well for you and thanks for the followup.
