We’re talking about ROAD touring. Not mountain bike touring of the Continental Divide trail!
My upcoming tour is on ROADS and a paved trail. Day 3 will take me to a state park for two days that is over 30 miles from the nearest food source. I’ll have to tote everything I need. And I’ll need to have a water filter. It won’t be the first time I’ve had to pack food for that distance (or longer).
