The bike: Rodriguez Ultimate Touring bike, made in Seattle in 2013. With the racks, fenders, lights, pedals, bottle cages, it weighs about 32 pounds.
The gear and plan for packing it are shown in the photos below. The total weight of the gear packed into the four panniers, handlebar bag and seat bag is about 39 pounds. The four Ortlieb panniers weigh about 8 pounds empty, so I think that is pretty good.
The tech: I am taking my iPhone 6, along with a bluetooth folding keyboard, which I can use to write updates for the blog. I can use wifi from my Panasonic ZS-100 camera to transfer photos to the phone. The Garmin Edge 820 connects to the phone by bluetooth, so I will have a map of each day’s ride, elevations, and data. For a data nerd, this is all so much fun! I also still have a Cateye computer on my bike, but it doesn’t connect to anything. So sad.
I am also taking my Kindle, and hope to have some time to read. For camping, the Kindle is the best way to read books.
I bought my first Garmin GPS two years ago, and have logged 2,634 miles on it since May 17, 2015. At that time, the bike had 2,078 miles on it. Not everything is on the GPS, so my best estimate of the total mileage on the bike as of May 1, 2017, is about 4,900 miles.
The maps: I have all the Adventure Cycling maps on paper — no batteries required. I also bought the digital versions of all of them, so I can load the GPX files onto the Garmin 820 and use the turn-by-turn navigation. In areas where there are frequent turns, this will be helpful. If the Garmin gets confused, I can also refer to the paper map to see what I really need to do.
I also got paper maps from AAA for all the states I will be riding through, and used a highlighter to show the route. It’s hard to get a sense of where you are when you only look at the little strip maps on the ACA maps. Then I cut off the parts of the states that I don’t need, so I have about half the volume of the original stack of maps.
For the areas where I did my own routing, I used RideWithGPS, and exported the routes as TCX files, which I can load onto the Garmin 820. I will also probably print paper copies as backup in case the GPS gets crazy.
The visibility: I gave up on fashion on the bike. High-visibility gear is the only way.
I have a Son dynamo hub on the front wheel, so I can run a headlight and tail-light without needing to use batteries. I can also turn off the lights (on bright days) and use the hub as a USB charger, to keep a backup battery charged up.
I have bright yellow jerseys, a yellow windbreaker, and a high-visibility vest, which I will probably wear most of the time. Although lights are helpful, I think that the chances are much better that a motorist will see the bright clothing, given that the back of the vest is a lot bigger than that little tail-light. Especially where sight distances are long and vehicle speeds are high, I think it helps to have the motorist see the cyclist from a mile (or more) away, and have a chance to think about what that little yellow spot is … before they get really close.
