[RBW] Re: Oregon Outback Rollcall

[Mike Schiller]

Brian, I didn't make the ride last year, but I have backpacked all my life 
and have a lot or experience with ultralight camping.  I recently got a 
water-resistant bivy sack from Borah Designs. I used it on a recent 
bikepacking trip and was very happy with it.  I put my pad and sleeping bag 
inside and it has a mesh hood to keep bugs out and a little loop ( that 
hooks to a nearby bush or tree) to keep the bivy hood off your face.
The bottom is fully waterproof, but the top is a highly breathable but very 
water resistant fabric that will keep a light mist or overnight dew off 
your bag. It weighs only 7 oz and packs the size of a softball.  That with 
a small tarp if you expect heavier rain is what I would pack.  It also adds 
a little warmth to your sleeping bag. With a light tarp your whole shelter 
is less than a pound and very compressible.

I'm probably going to have to miss the Oregon Outback this year as  my 
daughter is expecting a child  a week before.

They are 2.1 WTB Nano's. Plenty fat enough for me. I've done gravel, single
track and sandy road riding, loaded, on those. I'm not worried at all about
them being too narrow.

How fat are the tires on the Fatlantis, again?

I'm dithering about whether to use Super Moto 2.35" tires or Knard 3"
tires on my bike. The Knard tires are absolutely fantastic in the kind
of deep kitty litter that abounds on the Outback, but they may be
overkill.

90 hilly gravel miles a day, while carrying some minimal camping gear,
is leisurely? Usually people don't even call 90 paved touring miles
leisurely.

[RBW] Re: Oregon Outback Rollcall

[stonehog]

Thread revival.  I'm planning to do this one on my Hunqapillar this year. 
 I am thinking about the camping situation.  Has anyone insight at this 
point on what worked last year?  Example - I like to camp light on the bike 
- sans tent.  Did folks make this work last year?  I realize it will 
totally depend on the weather conditions, but how are bugs along the trail? 
 I haven't done much camping in OR on the east side of the crest. 

FWIW, I am currently planning to try to do this in 4-5 days (leisurely), 
with minimal shelter (pad and sleeping bag), maybe a light tarp in case of 
rain, a few changes of wool, and the essentials.  

What worked for you last year?

[RBW] Re: Oregon Outback Rollcall

[Old Oly]

It's on my list for next season.  I'm trying to recruit a couple of buddies 
but no luck so far.  I'd most likely take Amtrak from Olympia to K-Falls. 
 If time and energy permit I'd like to continue north via USFS roads on the 
shoulder of Adams and tie into Hiway 12 near Randle/Packwood.  Timing would 
be a challenge, the route in Oregon gets hot early and the snow in WA 
doesn't always clear until later.  All depends on lots of factors.  Oregon 
Outback is the priority for sure.  I can always do the WA section later in 
the summer.
