Hi all,Thanks Very Much for the posts. I'm Very Much Interested in Your Opinions.
I traveledSolo w/tent modified Northern Tier 1982 3300 Mi., Boston, MA to Ocean Shores,WA. I didn't cook then & I won't now. Shredded Wheat Cereal is my main staple.
In '82 it wasme, sleeping bag, 4 panniers and my bike (w/quick release front wheel removed);I’m travelling the same way on this upcoming trip. I’d hung food bag at night in Bear Country(mainly Upper Peninsula, MI & Rockies - East Glacier, MT to Coeur d'Alene,ID).
The 1982 photois me in West Glacier w/my ride at the time, a Japanese-made Steel Raleigh10-speed Grand Sport model. My ride now is a Co-Motion Nor’Wester Tour (but I’musing the same 29-year old pannier set!)
I leave fromJacksonville Beach, FL on the 27th. Keep those comments coming,folks, and Have a Safe Ride!
