Creative ways of touring with a back pack
I'm looking for any ideas people have on taking a 40L backpacking pack on a tour with them. I like then idea of going for an overnight hike while I'm touring to let the legs do their natural thing off the bike and on the trails. The only idea I have is putting the pack on top of the rear rack in between the panniers which is less than ideal and might interfere with thighs while pedaling. Any other creative ideas?
