Curtis: I wanted to see how it felt to carry a moderate camping load at a pace and distance in excess of what I've done or plan to do. I have to say it handled beautifully...My homer responds well to being loaded (I weigh about 145). Climbs well, descents stable, just a solid ride.
I figure a daily mileage closer to 50-80 is more by deal. I've got a large saddlesack in the back with bedding, first aid, and tools, a tent strapped to the top of the sack, and a converted Timbuk2 bag clipped to the front basket with clothes, chain lube, sunscreen, and my camera. The handle loop was an easy place to clip the cue sheet. There you go. More information than you require. :-) On Jul 15, 2013 10:59 PM, "Curtis McKenzie" <cmkcy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Christopher, > > Sounds like a fun ride Seattle to Portland.
