I hope to start touring this year. Few shorter 2-3 day trips in Spring to test things out then maybe a month ride around NY State. I'm scrambling resources, I have an MTB based commuter bike that should be capable of touring but I'm hoping to build a dedicated touring/weekend rider around a Kona Sutra frame. I also have some camping equipment, but I'm afraid it's too heavy and I'll have to get a new, light tent and sleeping bag and pad. I'm thinking of eating along the way, no cooking to keep things simple in the beginning.
I wish I tried this years ago, seems like the perfect way to spend vacation, or I guess I just grew up to it
Anyway, I have some hurdles to overcome, mainly personal and financial issues, and they outcome will decide how much touring I can do this year.
I've been reading this forum and crazyguyonabike plus some other touring sites so I think I got all the inspiration I can, now I just need to make things happen.
