If I were to go on a 10,000 mile bike tour...
What would I need? Obviously I was thinking I'd need a small tent. Though I've heard of people taking a small tarp and a hammock.
The rest I'll do in list format.
Sleeping bag.
Tools for bike maintenance.
Hygene pack (Soap, Razors, Deoderant, Toothpaste, Toothbrush)
Two or three days worth of clothes and Bibs.
Bike Pump and a couple tubes.
Maps.
Flashlight and batteries.
Cellphone and charger.
Then what is best for food? Should I bring a small grill with me to cook some stuff on? I suppose I could buy some canned veggies and other canned goods. I don't see how I could bring meat along. Unless I found a campsite close to a town... went and bought the meat and cooked it right then. Meat is important for protein. So I guess that scenario would work. What kind of a diet would I want to put myself on, biking 100 miles per day could cause me to lose weight.
Another thing I'd like to do is buy a trailer to put everything in. I see other people touring using bags and such. I don't think I'd be comfortable with that set up. I'd rather tow it. Could I do it in one of those enclosed trailers I see people putting their kids in? They look like they have a lot of room.
What would you guys suggest with what I have above? Am I realistic or unrealistic?
