    I'm looking for a bag for the Gael Force but one without a hydration pack. I intend leaving bottles at my bike so i'll be going "dry" until the first bike stage. I presume i'll just need room for a small medical kit, my runners while on the bike, and possibly wet gear weather permitting. Would be interested to hear what people will be using, hopefully nothing too loose that its bobbing about on my back:P

    Just use a hydration backpack without the bladder. You still get a nice small backpack that you can tighten up around your waist and chest but just take out the bladder.

    I'll be putting about 200ml of water in my bladder in addition to the two bottles on the bike (one water, one Lucozade sport). I like to have a little bit in the hydration pack so I can take a sip on the first run or the Croagh Patrick section.
