Bikepacking with Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer. FAIL

It was my 1st ever attempt at Bikepacking, and I was not prepared for how physically demanding it would be.

The only failure is not learning anything from it! You did great, you got out on the bike and Rode! That's a Win!

Thanks brother for the support!

I don't see a fail here, I see a person who is learning. I've been riding the G.1 for this summer and I've been really happy with it. You might want to switch the rear gearing up with a mega range freewheel. It'll give you more low end that will help when the bike is loaded up. I've been building up my miles and ability to haul loads over the summer by doing a bunch of rides on weekends with panniers on the bike. Mostly I ride somewhere beautiful, put my camp chair out, make a cup of coffee and stare at the ocean. It's been a great bike for this. Now when I ride without the bike loaded it feels like it weighs nothing! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the positive words of encouragement and for watching!!

Love it! Don’t beat yourself up you did awesome. You’ve got a pretty good load out man. I do shake down rides with my bike fully loaded to help with conditioning. Dropping that canister in there is savage AF man, lol. Take care and see you in the next one

[@TheBeardedCamper]

LOL, thanks brother, I'm going go riding daily from here on out to better condition myself.

[@cmbautista07]

You did awesome! It's not a fail if you learned something! Now you know to Conditioner with your bike loaded. I would say that's a win! Now you can keep working at it and kill it next time!

[@TheBeardedCamper]

That you for sharing

Thanks for Watching!!

I am not sure, but it was an idea. I guess would a traylor make it easier or harder?

To save weight...try leaving the Notre Dame hat at home.
