Am I a fool for touring with road/race bike?
Proud owner of a Specialized Allez, this bike has been excellent to me over the years in casual riding of all distances up to 115 + miles. Planning a cross continent tour next year, Considering using the Allez. I'm highly UL when it comes to backpacking recently completed AT and PCT, so I know how to pack light. Assuming my gear wasn't more than 30 pounds, would this be a foolish idea? Anyone know of others that have used a bike like the Allez to tour with?
