Today is all about going over my packing list and printing off my maps. As Scott has kindly pointed out, I have everything but the kitchen sink strapped onto my bike. I have added a bike trunk instead of huffing it out with a backpack on my back for 600 miles. Because I have space now, I am going to lug my camera. I am excited about this because I haven’t been shooting for a long time. So now I will not only be challenging my body and mind, I will also get to nourish my soul as well. However, with adding the heavy and bulky camera it doesn’t give me much room for clothes. I have had to down size my clothing articles to one pair of riding clothes and one after ride outfit. Yes, I do plan on showering and washing my previous day cycling clothes and wearing deodorant so I shouldn’t be too ripe. 🙂 It’s worth giving up space to take my camera. Excited! However, I will make the final decision about leaving tomorrow or wait until the 1st week in Oct. The weather is NOT looking good at all. Not sure I want to ride in the rain, yet not sure I want to wait either… what to do, what to do….
