Time for weight training

I weighed each of the bags that I would be taking to find out how much extra weight I would be taking and check that the 2 panniers were fairly evenly balanced.

Backpack - 9lbs
Left Pannier - 1stone 1lbs
Right Pannier - 1stone 1lbs
tent - 6lbs

Turns out the 2 panniers were nicely balanced but I hadnt realised just how heavy my load would be. I'm going to be carrying almost an extra 3.5stone!

Lets hope my bike can handle the weight of a fat chuffer plus all his gear.
