What time do you get up?

When I do. Tends to be much earlier when camping than when in a hotel room.

Do you take your time at the campsite, or pack up and go?

I try to get going in a reasonable amount of time, but I am a dawdler and usually take longer than I expect too.

Do you have breakfast, or just granola bar on the way?

I don't like to eat right after I get up in the morning, but I may have some tea or coffee. I will eat later down the road somewhere. I love a good diner.

What do you normally do for lunch? Quick sandwich, or pub/restaurant?

I'll eat about anything for lunch. Whatever strikes me when I get hungry. I am in no way a health food nazi, so Ill eat whatever looks good. I'm partial to divey places, local foods, beers, wines etc.

What time do you normally like to be at the next campsite?

When I get there. I try to set up my day to be where I need to be before dark. I tend to stop when things interest me, so I usually have a couple of possible destinations in case I spend too much time checking things out.

What kind of camping spot you think is best for a cyclo-tourist?

I like campgrounds, but anywhere in a pinch. The possibilities are endless.

Do you take the panniers off and lock up your bikes, or just let your stuff sit there overnight? (I saw someone leave panniers on the bike, and I must admit I'm way too paranoid to do that).

I leave them on unless it's an urban setting where the bike will sit for a long period unattended.
