All I'm waiting for now is the handlebar bag. It's meant to arrive on Friday, and I'll set off with it in the afternoon. That's the plan. Meanwhile, the rest of the week shall be spent getting the last of the gear ready. I still need a couple more spare tubes and a spare tyre.
Last weekend I climbed 6 miles of Mt Lemmon, 40 miles round-trip with the 60-odd lb bike and tested out all the equipment. The hammock was very comfy!
The only real issue was the saddle. It was too wide in the nose and kept rubbing against my legs. That and the bike was obviously rear-heavy, so hopefully the handlebar bag will help out a bit there.
