Packing list cycling in winter
For our new adventure, we are heading to Scandinavia in the winter. We already have a lot of winter experience, but not so much on the bike. Moreover, this time we have a new bike and want to test a new setup. Less space in the panniers, but more stuff we have to take. A challenge, but we manage to take everything. In the packing list below you will find everything we brought on our trip to the far north.
Whether we will actually use everything in our gear list, we don't know at this point. We too "try out" a setup and set of gear without having the full experience. In a few months we will know more and we can tell you if we made the right choices.
