Ever wondered how to plan your bikepacking food and drink? From on the bike to off it, here are some handy tips from bikepacking duo Si and Josh on their recent trip to Morocco. When you're more remote than a local club ride, it's essential to think ahead and get the types of foods that will be suitable for the climate and location that you are travelling to.

What is your go-to bikepacking food? How do you store water on your bike? Let us know in the comments.
