Bikes: Absolutely

Awesome! I just got back from my first long distance overnight adventure. Two friends and I rode about 80 miles to St. Augustine, stayed two nights in a tent and rode around the city, and rode back. All of us had geared road bikes and panniers. I hauled two loaded panniers and a four person tent (never again). I brought three extra tubes and three CO2 cartridges. We used all of the CO2 with 25 miles to go... pretty scary! But we made it. Got more cartridges at a bike shop in town. Learned a lot, worked a lot, had a lot of fun, and I really learned to appreciate riding my componentless and gearless fixie around town. I took a ton of 35mm pics, should I make a thread y/n? I guess it wasn't a SS trip so I might put it in the touring forum.
