Manny The average weight for our tours is about 40 pounds each, including the weight of the panniers, for my wife and I. That allows us to carry more when we wish to. For example, carrying six packs of beer or a watermelon to camp from the last store. I seldom use a handlebar bag and, unless I'm carrying extra food, I never have a load on top of any rack. Everything I carry fits in my panniers. Packing for a nice tour? Our last tour was Seattle, WA to Klamath Falls, OR along the spine of the Cascades. Pretty nice!
