That's part of how I came to this resolve as well. At first I had purchased one of Delta's slim seat post racks w/detachable bag. Very nice set up for just an extra gear umph when you want it. Thank goodness I read my TE bike resource on the carbon first... cuz I didn't know any better. The rack was a return. But later, when shopping post (still got a carbon, btw atm), some peeps here w/carbon rides use an alum post for this very reason (or switch it out as a back-up alternative). Thomson makes a great post. The Elite version is pretty light for what it is. FWIW. Btw, hope your ride goes great!
