Time is going fast. Bonnie and I are getting excited about our adventures to come. A lot of planning is still necessary before our departure date of May 27th. This week we plan on taking a practice run with our fully loaded bikes and make decisions on gear and equipment before shipping our bikes UPS this weekend to Rosemary Seifried's (Bonnie's sister) house in Marblemount, WA. (Photo: Mike's gear) Our bikes will weigh close to 100 lbs. which includes, the bike, tent, sleeping bag and pad, cooking stove, pots, clothes, bike tools, pump, spare tires and tubes, etc., not to mention food and water. Water weighs 8 lbs. per gallon. Over the next month we will be looking to lighten the load, by cutting back on unnecessary items, and believe me, every pound counts.
