Dressing for long fall ride

[Catrin]

As mentioned above, I will have my Arkel Tailrider with me. Since I've a strict diet and I KNOW what they will provide at the rest stops I will need to have all of my snacks for the day with me - and my lunch will be in my car. Being both grain-free and processed food free does make at challenging to get what I need from the stops. I will need more than bananas.

I will have my light convertible wind-breaker jacket in my Tailrider - and since most of my food can go in my hydration pack that should provide me all the clothing storage I need. That thing expands quite a lot AND there are external straps that I can use to secure my jacket to the top if I need to do so. The thermal jacket isn't small, but I can deal with it. I am not about to start riding in 40-50 degree temps without it, I know that much I kind of hope I won't need to take off my tights, but we will see.

Muirenn, that would work if I didn't use a hydration pack If I can fit all of my nutrition needs in the pack then that will go far to solving the layer-storage question. I should be able to do that, and I can get bananas from the rest stops rather than carrying them with me.
