Hello! I'm just getting started into this touring thing. Plans are in place for my girlfriend and I to do a year (or more) long tour in 2010. We've got the bikes, are obsessing over what equipment and why and wheres (based on reviews, and this forum in specific) and will be doing our first weekender in 2 months or so.

Now, my question - How much weight are we looking at carrying "fully loaded?" - Of course that is an open ended question, just curious to see what seasoned tourers are carrying. What about the solo tourer, how much do you carry with you in terms of lbs?
