Snowys Trip inc. Route

 

Stuff

Riding

  • Bluetooth audio + charging cable
  • Bike phone mount
  • Wet weather pants
  • Dry liner / Rainjacket (also good for cutting wind in colder climate)
  • Earplugs. Makes a massive difference to how far you can ride, as wind noise is extremely exhausting. https://www.earmold.com.au/ these guys do some molded plugs you can re-use, and are much easier to insert.
  • USB battery bank + charger. Long cable allows charging phone while in mount.
  • Camelbak. A knockoff bladder in a regular backpack can work. Water as you're going is amazing.

  • Miscellaneous crap bag (electrical tape, cable ties, extra rope etc.) - Isaac bringing
