Thanks, EKW for that link to Bestbuy. Never would have thought to check them out.

I'm prepping for my first tour for this summer (early July) - a short three day, credit card tour on GAP. I'm going to pack light - no camping gear. Do you think the Ortlieb front panniers, loaded on a rear rack would be sufficient? I'm thinking I'll have a change of riding clothes, a single set of "off-the-bike" clothing, plus a pair of sandals. I'd also pack rain gear, toiletry kit, tools, spare tubes, extra water bottle (or two), and trail snack/energy food.
