dude, get an RV
just kidding, kinda
We obviously have different philosophies about touring, but that's totally cool. I would personally never go above 30 pounds for my gear load -while you had 58 lbs. (panniers, plus all gear in them, plus **** on bike.) But as long as you are having fun, that is all that matters.
One rule I have is one luxury item allowed. To you that may be an SLR- to me it is my shortwave radio. I allow this luxury item, but trim all other luxuries. Like, for example, I would never carry an ipod and iphone and netbook and chargers, as those are all (arguably) luxury items.
anyway, Im offering weight-trimming advice when it wasn't really asked for. I just have a knee-jerk reaction to hearing 60 pounds of gear: dump half that stuff!
feel free to disregard
