Packing List
Obviously, what you pack depends on how long you're traveling, to where, and what style of traveler you are. We come as close to glamping as you can on a camping bike tour, meaning that we like to eat well and feel clean and comfortable. For example, we cook hot food every night, though you could certainly eat trail mix and jerky for dinner. Also, I suggest bringing two riding outfits because I like to wash mine each night, but some people don't mind wearing the same thing every day and getting stinky. Anyway, anything with an asterix next do it is not necessary for a tour less than a week long, but do come in handy for extended trips.
