Running lean John Hudson’s tips on the gear you need for ADVX. You might be surprised how little you can carry.

The whole luggage load for ADVX can be handled by a man in a collared shirt and slacks on a hot, Gold Coast day.

Last issue we covered my set-up for general, multi-day adventure riding, but I’ve been fielding so many enquiries about what to carry for ADVX, I’ll run through the set-up I recommend specifically for that transcontinental ride.

I’ve seen some horrific descriptions of massive gear loads on the AdvRiderMagforum, and while it’s great everyone’s so excited and wants to be well-prepared, some of the cargo people are considering would make an already challenging ride way, way more difficult than it needs to be.
