Trans Am Bike Race Gear List

Here's my kit for the race. I've never participated in an event like this. I got some of my ideas from Ed Pickup from his experience in the Transcontinental Race. Here's his kit for the Trans Am. I also got many of my other ideas from Outdoor Gear Lab. I've made many eleventh hour changes, even some minutes after I took these photos. I may have too much (I am certainly not the lightest), but I will be comfortable, and I will be able to solve most problems I encounter.

Unloaded, 22ish pounds

Loaded, 47ish pounds with food and 3L of water

From the front

Cockpit

Purdue kit, headphones, helmet, Oakley Radarlock, sunblock, chamois butter, KT tape, IT band compression wrap, patella strap, Giro footbeds

Saddle bag: Foam roller (I seriously need this), flip flops, pump, tent poles, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent stakes, emergency blanket (doubling as my tent footprint), rain jacket, cold weather gear (under armor, arm warmers, bandana, plastic grocery bags [for in between my shoes and shoe covers], gloves, rubber gloves, shoe covers,), KT tape, spare derailleur hanger, rag + lube, camp suds, 3 spare tubes, ACA maps, tent repair, vitamins, ciprofloxacin, imodium, toothpaste, toothbrush, wet ones, biofreeze, t-shirt, shorts, towel (no longer taking), washcloth

Repair kit (cockpit): emergency spoke (Fiberfix), Leatherman, tube, spoke wrench, gorilla glue, patch kit, lighter, zip ties, tire levers, accessory cord, tire boots (from tires and tube)

Cockpit: iPhone cable, USB mini cable (GPS, tail light), pepper spray, lock, Nuun, electrolyte pills, emergency food (I don't plan on touching this unless I cannot find services. I fit 4,150 calories into that bag)

Frame bag: 3L bladder, water filter, pump, Aleve, straw attachment for filter, spork, iodine tablets, water key, replacement wire for my dynamo hub, lens cloth, toilet paper, med kit (neosporin, bandaids, Halls), Off wipes

Top tube: chapstick with sunscreen, headlamp, hand sanitizer, snacks

Spreadsheet for those curious. 7.76 pounds without food or water. Add 22 for the unloaded weight and somehow I manage to add up to 47 pounds total.
