Giving a class our touring next week

A buddy of mine did a tour in France last year and in Oregon this summer, and came back excited to share the experience. I've done maybe a dozen but nothing over a week. The two of us volunteered to give a touring class at the local library, which is always looking for content. We've put together a plan that goes something like this:

What is touring
Why tour
Where to tour
How far
Equipment - bike
Equipment - camping
Food
Overnight options
Navigation
Cost
Safety

We have photos mostly of our tours; we're going to run through this in 90 minutes. Our talk is going to focus on our personal experiences, with full disclosure that we're rookies. We'll have handouts with links to crazyguy and other sites, and detailed equipment lists etc.

Seem like a reasonable plan?
