I saw one other person touring. She was headed north on U.S. 5 in Brattleboro. I had gotten off the train earlier and was driving south. She had a bikepacking setup with frame bags and such. Couldn’t see what she was riding, but it wasn’t a traditional touring bike like my LHT.
My lowest gear is 42/46. My bike is heavy fat bike. Light touring is around 350 lbs and heavy touring is about 425 lb.
