Hey Guys,
My wife and I are ready for that next big adventure. We have done a couple century rides along with some short rides around our town and have gotten bored.
We were thinking of getting some camping gear(already have some) and touring our state with our bicycles and without burning any gas to get to the destination. We have a couple one wheel trailers to hook behind our bikes, but are not sure how to pack light enough to do this.
What bike would be the best for this type of touring? We have mountain bikes and a road bike each that we ride all the time. I know to bring some extra tubes and even some foldable tires, tools, pump... just in case, but what else??
I know we need a tent(have a 4 man). I don't believe I could get my feet in a 2 man(6'-4" tall). As far as the eating, I talked to a couple that said it was easier to eat out than carry all that weight in food.
Anyone done this??... Please Help??
Thanks,
PJ
