Tips for Staying Light but Prepared

You’ll want to pack light — but not reckless. Every gram counts when you’re climbing hills for hours.
✅ Invest in compact, multi-use items (e.g. down jacket that doubles as pillow)
✅ Leave the “just-in-case” items at home unless critical
✅ Pre-plan resupply points so you carry less food and water at once

Food, Water & Safety

You burn thousands of calories per day riding — so keep eating!

  • High-energy, non-perishable snacks (nuts, dried fruit, bars, jerky)
  • Easy-to-cook meals (dehydrated meals, instant oats, noodles)
  • Minimum 4 litres of water per day; carry more on hot stretches
  • Purify water even from tanks — boil, filter, or use tablets
  • Check bushfire warnings daily & carry a basic first aid kit

Clothing for WA Weather

Weather can swing from blazing sun to cold and wet within a day.

✅ Lightweight base layers (moisture-wicking)
✅ Mid-layer for warmth (fleece or down)
✅ Waterproof jacket & gloves
✅ Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen
✅ Padded shorts & gloves for comfort
