Packing for Europe + Dead Snake

Times flies and its just about time to head to Europe for Challenge Roth and Copenhagen.

I am really looking forward to my first time at Roth, I have heard so many good stories from the race, with the atmosphere and course, it should be a ripper.

Since I am flying through Asia, the baggage allowance is only 23kg so I have written a list of what I need and don't, as its always a struggle to stay under 23kg! I use a cardboard Orbea Box and carry on bag for laptop, book and any heavy stuff

• Orbea Bike
• Durace 75 Race Wheels
• Training Wheels - may have to leave at home and borrow some
• Saucony Kinvara's and Fastwitch shoes, one of each, I can save weight, wear one pair on plane
• Compressport Calf compression - wear on plane, save weight
• Orca wetsuit
• Sugoi Race kit
• Sugoi training kit, one kit
• Drink bottles - get in Europe
• Pair of jeans - wear on plane
• Jacket - wear on plane
• Undies - 3 pairs, wear one on plane
• Socks - 3 pairs, wear one on plane
• T shirts - 3
• Shorts - 1
• Laptop
• Bike Pump - borrow
• Timex Race Trainer Pro watch - wear on plane
• Aero Helmet
• Normal Helmet
• Cycling shoes
• Lydiard running book - always get me motivated
• Passport
• Wallet
• Toiletries, just take the tooth brush and get the rest there

That's about it, so if i get desperate I normally stuff all my smaller clothes in to my Jacket pockets and if I really need to put three t-shirts on at once. It does not sound like much but it all adds up.
