I remember you talking about it, but I forget what you're using for a touring bike?

Mario, sounds like you'll be ahead of me. I start on 7/3. And I'll be west of Eugene. Hugging the coast for the most part.

Good luck, big Mike. Blog your ride so we can see what's up and how you're doing. If you're packing 81 lbs., what's an extra 5-6 for a laptop?

Be safe and happy riding, man!

Good luck man. REI's got a good lightweight +40 sleeping bag for $100. Weighs under 2 lbs. Get a good compression sack and you're all set!

Mike! I am so envious of you right now. I wish I could take the time off to join you for part of your odyssey. Just make sure you come home with lots of stories and pics so the rest of us can live vicariously through your adventure.
