Getting ready for the trip

Besides weeks of going over maps, analyzing and creating routes, remembering how to use your GPS, and estimating time frames, etc., it is now time to start packing as we leave in a few days.

Packing is always a challenge you don’t have much room, and as usual, I seem to overpack. It’s typical to start packing a few days earlier. Look at it, take stuff out, and re-pack again. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

Here’s what I decided to pack; one T-shirt, one collar shirt, one long sleeve shirt, two pairs of underwear and socks, one pair of long john bottoms if we hit very cold weather, a pair of convertible, pants, a pair of gym shorts,a pair of keen sandal’s, toiletries, and medication, laptop, and all the associated chargers, cords for your phone, GPS and other items. Still seems like too much stuff.

The shoes and below is what I plan on wearing while riding. Above the shoes in the six bags are for the hotel room. To right of that are items I need for layering. Photo doesn’t include riding gloves, neck gators of helmet.

And I thought I was going lean this time… sure doesn’t sound like it.

Might do another repack….

  1. Doesn’t look like much to me. How long is this leg of the trip? (Days/weeks). Good luck! I will be stocking you as usual.😁🏍️

  2. I am in a black hole or some thing. I posted that comment yesterday morning and it disappeared both on my iPad and on my computer; I checked three different times, so I wrote it again. You like comments so you’re getting double from. me even though they say the same thing. I guess I’m cheating.😂
