When I rode across the country and then some my bike (also a Cannondale) and gear weighed 90 lbs., due in large part to the amount of film camera equipment I was carrying. Keep in mind that it would have been even heavier but for the fact that I was on a group trip (13 people total). That meant I didn't have to carry full cooking gear. My end of the group gear was one large pot with a lid that doubled as a frying pan.
