In my latest list, total gear weight including bags, but not food or water is a bit under 12 pounds. That is about 2 pounds less than I took on the Southern Tier this past winter. The latest reshuffling has:

• 3 pounds on my back including pack itself, I will have the option of putting this on the rack if I decide that makes sense. I figure it most likely shouldn't be a problem since I have carried more than that in my jersey pockets at times.
• 3 pounds in bar bag including bag
• 5.75 pounds on rack including my light trail running shoes

I have a pound of tools and spares, but count that in the bike's weight (22 pounds) since they live on the bike whether on tour or not.

I typically don't have much more than a pound or so of food except places where there are no stores for a while. At that point I might have 2 or 3 pounds of food at most.

I am still experimenting with all of this. It will only be my third very lightly loaded tour (Seattle to San Luis Obispo with about 22 pounds and San Diego to Sarasota with about 14 pounds).

Previous tours were 45 pounds (Trans America), 30 pounds (Santa Fe Trail), and something a bit less in the Sierras from San Diego to Reno (I never weighed or calculated that one).
