The photo was taken in the town of Shingleton, Michigan at the end of the Seney stretch when going east to west in the Upper Penninsula while traveling on M28. We had ridden about 900 miles of our ride around Lake Superior. I have front and back Ortlieb Bike Packer Lite panniers. I also have a Carradice Low Saddle Longflap saddlebag on my Brooks saddle. Under my helmet is a cape wrap which attaches to the saddlebag and keeps your rain gear real handy. I have a Carradice Boxy handlebar bag mounted on a Sidetrax Easy Access. Since the diameter of the EA is much smaller than a handlebar the bag mount would rotate and the map then was hard to see. I bought a cheap ($3) plastic storage box which I would lash to my front Nitto rack as support under my handlebar bag. Into it I put my casual sandals, and the maps not in current use. The big star on the top tube is a handkerchief (bandana) that I use to wrap around my head under my helmet.
The bike is a Rivendell Atlantis with Nitto racks front and back, Honjo fenders (hammered) and a sagging Brooks Flyer. It sagged because I rode too often in wet shorts. I'm trying to retension it back into shape. If you look close you can see my B&M Lumotec lamp which is driven by my Schmit hub.
Can you tell I like ice cream even when its melting down the cone?
