Clothes etc.
Lately I've been a little concerned about the amount of clothes we need to take, because I was reading in some journals about cold, wet riding that we could run into. Basically, I would like to travel with a visa card and one change of clothes at night, rinsing out the bike stuff for the next day. Maybe do laundry once or twice. Maybe. But the more I thought about it, we will have to bring rain clothes and something kind of warm. Then there's the dop kit for both of us, mine being the small one. So looks like we need big bag on the back of the bike, which is for sale. Ah, but the weight! The last bike I checked was about 40 lbs. and if we keep the bag to under ten maybe we'll make it up all those hills. I can see us jettisoning things like the crew of a sinking airplane. Which goes first, my stuff or hers?

L&L, I know this is a bit after the fact, but I thought I'd read your blog while recalling my adventures. I recall my first transAm ride in 72. Left Buffalo, NY Aug 1; three days later in Detroit I got rid of half my 60 lbs. Got rid of another 15 in Denver. The Little Woman is losing her job at the end of the year and we might ride across the States.
