COMPARE COSTS
Lets assume you have a good mountain bike and the basic riding gear, what else do you need for our trip compared to say a 3 day, unsupported bike-packing trip.
Bikepacking Trip
Trip Cost = $0
Frame Bag = $150
Fork H2O Mounts = $110
Fork 64oz H2O Bottles = $85
Seatpost Bag = $140
Handlebar Bag = $130
Lightweight 1p Tent = $225
Lightweight Sleeping Bag = $200
Lightweight Down Jacket = $260
Spot Emergency Tracker = $200 + subscription
Garmin 830 GPS = $380
Getting all the gear needed for a simple 3-day bike-packing trip didn’t end up being so simple for me, I am planning one now for April 2023 and was surprised at how much I spent getting the basics. The list above totals to $1,880 and remember that doesn’t include my food and I am sleeping on the ground each night.
Narnia Trip
Trip Cost = $1,075
Frame Bag = don’t need it
Fork H2O Mounts = don’t need it
Fork 64oz H2O Bottles = don’t need it, simple camelbak with 3 liters will do
Seatpost Bag = don’t need it
Handlebar Bag = don’t need it
Lightweight 1p Tent = don’t need it
Lightweight Sleeping Bag = don’t need it
Lightweight Down Jacket = don’t need it, you can use one you have since you are not so sensitive on weight/packability
Spot Emergency Tracker = we provide this
Garmin 830 GPS = we provide this
With our trips, you won’t be concerned with packing all the THINGS you need to survive on something like a bike-packing trip since we’ve stocked you up at both lodging locations and your rides are what amount to 3-5 hour efforts where normal riding gear is all you need. Plus we provide you with many bonus items like the SPOT tracker and Garmin GPS so you can use them while on our trip but not have to commit to buying. The list above totals to $1,075 and includes your food, lodging, and some extras.
