Frankly, I state up front in my posts over there that I won't give you all the planning. I won't give you all the details of my bike or my gear or my routing or etc because I find those to be the least useful parts of bicycle touring. Everyone does touring a bit differently.

Personally, I'd rather read about the area from a travel perspective. I don't need to know that someone rode X bike with X tent and X sleeping bag and X panniers and ate X food. But if that same someone tells me about a cool little museum or obscure sight to see that only bicyclists know about or about a great little restaurant, it makes me want to see it for myself. That's the way that I write about my travels over there.
Actually, you do get it.
