Packing: Van-Supported + Hotel Tour

(part 3 of 5) I'm gradually going through past trip notebooks and jotting down all my packing lists down in one place. I'm writing out my packing list for an upcoming trip now so I figured I might as well copy and paste it onto the blog as well...

In 2022 I went on a multi-week vehicle-supported stay-in-hotels tour: a ~1200 mile ride through Vietnam and Cambodia with TdA Global Cycling. Typically for this type of trip there’s a support van that transports one large duffel bag to the next night’s hotel for you, freeing you to just carry daily essentials on the bike.

The extra capacity combined with our more remote travel including gravel/dirt roads led me to pack heavier. My packing list for this type, climate, and length of trip (retroactively revised based on what I wished I’d had, or brought but didn’t use):

Clothes:

In general, I packed enough clothes to do laundry every six days (this bike tour was organized so we’d ride at most five full days in a row between days off), plus overnight hotel-room-sink laundry for crucial fast-drying items, and wool Ts I can wear multiple days.

Bike clothes:

(3-4x) padded bike shorts [two pairs is enough if washing in the sink each night, but when it’s raining or there isn’t an easy place to hang it to dry it’s nice to be able to take a day off laundry]

(6x) socks

(2x) shorts with pockets (“mountain bike style”) to wear over padded shorts, also fine to walk around town in

(2x) light merino wool t-shirts to both bike and walk around in

(1x) synthetic souvenir jersey from some past trip (conversation starter!)

mesh t-shirt to bike in on the hottest days (there isn't much I find comfortable to bike in on 90-100F sunny + humid days, but the AeroTech Delta Cooling T-shirt was pretty good)

lightweight cycle cap

bandana (can soak in water to cool down on the hottest days)

sun sleeves

arm warmers, leg warmers, leg sun shields [never needed, omit in this climate]

fingerless gloves

[tbd future] full finger waterproof gloves– there was one cold and rainy day at elevation they would have been appreciated

general-purpose bike-and-walk shoes

backup pair of shoes (in case first get wet and don’t dry by the next day)-- this only came up twice after very rainy days, but I was glad to have them. I save an ancient worn-out pair of shoes just for this.

flip-flops / crocs

[tbd future] hiking shoes with better arch support, or insoles [would be bulky, but on one many-hour hike on a rest day I was wishing I had these]

[tbd future] bike helmet brim (e.g. Da Brim) [wished I had more of a helmet visor some days, and this was great on the past Utah MTB dirt tour – on the other hands, it also catches the wind if biking faster]

[tbd future] hi-vis biking vest, especially for days with some dark road tunnels

Other Clothes:

gym shorts to change into after ride

(2x) long pants (one lpermethrin treated since I was in a malaria zone)

(3x) light t-shirts

(2x) long sleeve button up shirt (one quick-dry hiking style, one ‘dressy’)

bathing suit

brimmed hat

light pack towel in case of roadside swimming holes [didn’t end up carrying daily or using, may omit]

Wet Weather Gear

hi-vis yellow rain coat

[tbd future] loose rain poncho for rain in hot + humid weather, instead

rain pants and shoe covers [ineffective and sweaty after hours of riding, getting wet in a warm climate is OK, omitting]

Documents + Paper:

photocopies of passport ID page, visas, vaccination cards, travel insurance in a ziploc bag (I carry copies on me, leave originals in hotel bag)

high-level maps for the regions I’m going through

pocket phrase guide or one-page printout of common phrases and menu items

local travel guide

books / kindle

notebooks and pens

Medical + Hygiene

toiletries kit

on-bike travel medkit (including moleskin pads, ibuprofen, immodium)

antimalarials

antibiotic prescription

a few rapid Covid tests

masks

dry soap sheets

toilet paper + wet wipes in a ziploc bag

(2x) sunscreen

(2x) chamois cream

DEET

Basic Bike Tools

As per my standard “on the bike” list:

travel pump

patch kit

spare tube

tire levers

multitool including chain break and master link

grease-cutting hand wipes

More Bicycle Spare Parts and Tools

Since we’d be out in rural areas without easy access to bike shops, I packed additional parts in my hotel bag, as on a supported tour there was an emergency vehicle in case of a major breakdown):

(2x) spare tires (I did end up using one of them, when one tire accumulated multiple larger punctures)

(5x) spare tubes (managed to use 3 plus some patches on a month-long tour with moderately rough roads)

bicycle lube (Boeshield T-9 or other), double-bagged in two ziplocs in case of leak (the bottle did leak once-- I'm glad I bagged it)

rag for chain

(2x) spare brake cables and housings

(2x) spare shift cables and housings

(2x pairs) brake pads

(1x) spare set of pedals (likely unnecessary, omit next time)

(4x) spare spokes (the right length for the front wheel and drive and non-drive sides of the rear wheel– I had to chat with the original bike manufacturer to double-check these)

8mm allen L-key (stiffer than multitool, for pedals / seat during bike unpacking)

spare chain and master link

extra moist towelettes

zip ties

duct tape

Food 

This kind of supported tour generally offers a midday lunch / snack popup by the side of the road, and periodic towns where we could buy snacks, but I packed about one snack for every two days just to have some familiar options (peanut butter and dried pineapple) as well as some hydration salts.

Electronics:

(2x) outlet adapters

(2x) USB chargers

cables

small USB battery pack (enough to charge everything for one night-- occasionally a hotel didn't have enough working plugs)

bike computer / GPS

backup distance-only bike computer [didn't use, the phone is already my backup for my GPS, omit]

bright daylight-visible taillight (I like the Cygolite Hotshot Pro series)

bike headling

headlamp [somewhat redundant with headlight and phone, may omit]

waterproof camera [nice for taking photos on rainy days while keeping phone tucked away in a plastic bag, but may omit next time]

[tbd future] ipad or tiny laptop, if part of a longer trip where I may want to do some work or writing

Bags:

duffel bag (I've been happy with my 100L Patagonia Black Hole)

hip pack (for extra water (Evoc Hip Pack Pro = 1.5L), snacks, toiletries on bike [may omit now that I have a small frame bag]

day pack for hikes (don't need both this and hip pack)

single pannier for carrying clothing on rainy or cold days (usually not needed) or if going on a DIY side trip -- omit on next trip to simplify and allow me to remove bike rear rack as well

stem bag (for sunglasses, sunscreen, extra water)

top tube bag (snacks)

Other Misc

backup pair of glasses

glasses wipes

sunglasses

[tbd future] clothesline for hotel room / balcony: paracord + binder clips + two carabiners

[tbd future] ultralight sleeping bag liner (for a niche problem: there were a few days when it was too hot to sleep under a comforter, but the hotel didn’t provide a top sheet, and bugs or aggressive breeze from the hotel fan on my skin were distracting when trying to sleep, maybe this would help)

Weight:

Not counting the bike and helmet or the clothes I wore onto the plane, the original version of this packlist came to about 48lbs (22 kg) in the duffel bag. Once I was riding with some of it on the bike (hip pack, bike bags, tools, snack bars, and so on), the duffel that was transferred between hotels weighed about 40lbs (18kg).

The revised version of this packlist for a future trip (removing the strikeout items and adding most of the "tbd future" items) also came to about 48 lbs as checked on the plane total including the bike bags, or about 43 lbs / 19.5 kg once some items were carried on the bike. Not quite at my goal of 18kg but close... I could pack lighter and with fewer separate sub-bags, but I like being organized and bringing a few new pieces of clothing/gear to try each trip.

November 28 2023 Boulder

The women's luncheon at Karen's house today to collect gifts for Share a Gift was wonderful and it was great to see so many friends there and meet new people. I brought a yummy salad with tofu and it was a good thing I did because there was nothing else I could eat!

Beryl is a member of our cycling group and we have done many local cycling trips with her but she has never come on an of the international biking tours with us. I talked to her about joining us in Asia next November, because Carolyn has scheduled an exciting trip with BackRoads through Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Beryl has been to some of those countries but not by bike, so maybe she and her husband, Jack will decide to come along.

Suzanne is one of my favorite people and she was with us on our journey to Portugal in October and I was able to get to know her even better. At the moment she isn't planning to go on the Asia bike tour but I hope she changes her mind and joins us.

Carolyn has been a great "travel agent" for us over the years, arranging trips to Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, and Provence, and now that she and her husband, Jim are mostly retired, they are anxious to see more of the world so she has organized a trip to Egypt next February and the bike trip to Asia next November. We, of course, still cycle with them in Boulder County whenever we can.

Robyn is also a regular rider with our group and went on the Provence bike tour with us. She and her boyfriend, Joe, also visited us in Barcelona! She's a lovely person and I enjoy our conversations.

Cambodia is a land of rich history, vibrant culture, and awe-inspiring natural beauty.

Trekking and Wildlife Adventures

Cambodia offers excellent trekking opportunities for those eager to explore its natural beauty. The Cardamom Mountains, one of Southeast Asia’s largest rainforests, are perfect for multi-day treks, where adventurers can discover hidden waterfalls, diverse wildlife, and remote villages. The chance to spot elephants, gibbons, and unique bird species in their natural habitat adds an element of thrill to the journey.

1. Immersion in the Ancient Khmer Empire:

Cycling allows you to fully immerse yourself in the ancient wonders of the Khmer Empire, with Angkor Wat and Banteay Srei being the highlights. As you pedal through the temple complexes, you will witness the grandeur and intricate details that have been preserved for centuries. Unlike exploring these sites by car or bus, cycling provides a closer connection to the historical context, allowing you to observe the architecture, intricate carvings, and experience their sheer magnificence firsthand.

2. Off-the-beaten-path Adventure:

Venturing off the main tourist routes in Cambodia and Vietnam is made possible by cycling. Kampong Thom, located between Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh, presents an opportunity to delve into the rich Khmer culture and explore lesser-known temples, rice fields, and local villages. By exploring these hidden gems on a bike, you can witness authentic Cambodian life, interact with friendly locals, and gain a deeper appreciation for this enchanting region.

3. Unforgettable Cultural Experiences:

Cycling through Phnom Penh, the vibrant capital city of Cambodia, allows you to absorb the vibrant history and culture firsthand. Visit the haunting Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields for a profound understanding of Cambodia's dark past. Pedaling through local markets, sampling delicious street food, and interacting with friendly locals will provide irreplaceable cultural experiences that showcase the warmth and generosity of the Cambodian people.

4. Connection with Nature:

The journey through the Mekong Delta, a sprawling network of rivers, canals, and lush green landscapes, is a highlight of this cycling adventure. By cycling through this picturesque region, you can witness the daily life of locals living along the delta's banks, pass through verdant rice paddies, and explore charming villages. The peaceful and serene environment allows for a deeper connection with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

5. Mekong River: Lifeline of Southeast Asia:

Following the Mekong River by bike offers an extraordinary perspective on the region's livelihood and biodiversity. As you cycle along the river, you will witness local fishermen casting their nets, witness traditional fishing villages, and witness a rich array of wildlife. Furthermore, a cycling adventure along the Mekong River allows you to witness the magnificent sunrises and sunsets that paint the river's banks with mesmerizing colors, creating postcard-worthy moments wherever you turn.

✅ Cycling in Cambodia and Vietnam 10 days offers an unforgettable experience that combines historical wonders, cultural immersion, and a connection with nature. By taking this unique, off-the-beaten-path approach, you have the opportunity to engage with local culture, witness breathtaking landscapes, and experience the region from a completely different perspective. So gear up, hop on a bike, and get ready for an adventure that will create lasting memories and leave you with a profound appreciation for the captivating destinations of Cambodia and Vietnam.

Exploring Cambodia's Wildlife on a Cycling Tour

Cambodia is a stunning country that is perfect for cycling enthusiasts. From lush jungles and rice paddies to ancient temples and vibrant cities, there is plenty to see and experience. One of the best ways to explore Cambodia is by taking a cycling tour.

Their tours are designed for all levels of cyclists, from beginners to experienced riders, and are led by knowledgeable guides who will ensure your safety and enjoyment. Their itineraries take you off the beaten track to explore the hidden gems of Cambodia, including its wildlife.

One of the highlights of cycling in Cambodia is the opportunity to see its wildlife up close. Cambodia is home to a diverse range of species, from elephants and tigers to monkeys and birds. The best time to see wildlife is in the early morning or late afternoon, when animals are most active. Here are some of the creatures you might encounter on a cycling tour with Battambang Cycling Tour:

1. Asian Elephants - Cambodia is home to around 400 wild Asian elephants, which can be found in several protected areas, including the Cardamom Mountains and Mondulkiri Province.

2. Gibbons - Cambodia is home to several species of gibbon, including the endangered pileated gibbon. These acrobatic primates can often be heard singing in the treetops, and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them swinging through the branches.

3. Birds - Cambodia is a birdwatcher's paradise, with over 500 species recorded. Some of the most impressive birds you may see on a cycling tour include the giant ibis, the national bird of Cambodia, and the critically endangered white-shouldered ibis.

4. Water Buffalo - These gentle giants are a common sight in rural Cambodia, where they are used for ploughing fields and transporting goods. You may see them grazing in rice paddies or taking a dip in a pond to cool off.

Conclusion If you are looking for a unique and exciting way to explore Cambodia's wildlife, a cycling tour with Battambang Cycling Tour is the perfect choice. With their expert guides and carefully crafted itineraries, you can experience the beauty and diversity of Cambodia in a way that is sustainable and responsible.

Cambodia Adventure Tours take you beyond the well-trodden paths, allowing you to explore hidden corners and secret passages, unveiling the mystique of this ancient temple complex. Imagine cycling through the lush jungles surrounding Angkor Wat or embarking on a sunrise trek to witness the awe-inspiring sunrise over these centuries-old ruins.

Kayaking Through Hidden Waterways:

For water enthusiasts, Cambodia's extensive network of rivers, lakes, and mangroves offers a thrilling kayaking experience. Paddle your way through the serene Tonle Sap Lake, observing floating villages and exotic bird species along the way. Cambodia Adventure Tours often include guided kayaking excursions, providing a unique perspective of the country's rural life and natural wonders.

Jungle Trekking in the Cardamom Mountains:

Nature lovers will find solace in the untouched wilderness of the Cardamom Mountains.
