On the one hand, the weight is not terribly important - the bike carries it
after all. On the other hand, a little less weight is an excellent thing.
Much easier on the back wheel on dirt roads. On my travels, I've had the
bike up to 15kg for the bike, 25kg (55lb) for basic kit, 12kg for water
I love it, Anne and Kelly! Grin. Actually, I'm completely comfortable. If

Dirty clothes every day? Hard, uncomfortable pad? Giving up the delicious
food I like? *Shakes head utterly baffled*? What's the point of being
uncomfortable and suffering? If I wanted to be uncomfortable, I wouldn't
have bought a Rivendell.
I think I'd like touring with Kelly. We have the same to
Laundry? Change of clothes? Full sized sleeping pad? Food other than boiled
or grilled? *Shakes head utterly baffled* What's the point of leaving home
if you take it with you? Grin.
For me, it was a revelation that I could, on the bike, bring a real tent

Ha! You are a man after my own heart!
Having a 50cm frame, I am envious for how much you can get between your
seat and rear rack and between your handlebars and front rack! However, it
would be a DISASTER for me for I
So the first car just left the driveway on their way to Norfolk. We'll get
out of here about 1pm when I get off work.
Went for another loaded ride last night.. bike is just so sweet. I had my

Reread my post and want to clarify what I intended despite poor wording: I
did not mean to suggest you shorten this trip at all , just to try taking
