Two summers ago, on my National Parks Tour, I lived out of those bags for four months. Everything has a place based on accessibility and I know what belongs in each compartment. Exhale. This suddenly got a lot easier!
The worst part is my clothes. Since I'm going down to work, I need more than just riding gear. Space is limited to what I can fit in the main compartment. The more I pack this way, even though the van is available for over flow this time, the easier it is to pack for a bike trip.
My friend, Thom, has been checking the trailer over, getting it ready to load the girls, Rosie and Shelley. We should be on our way to Jersey tonight. Then I can relax because it will just be what it is.
