first tour!

all righty then, it's back to the camping hobby. but i'm a roadie! oh my, i can be both: i bought me a (pair of) touring bike(s) and a bunch of panniers. stuff the panniers full of camping gear, and suddenly i'm a bicycle tourist.

here's the plan for tour #1: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/343546

30 easy miles, as long as old la honda under touring load is your idea of easy. i mean, i have no problem going up it with my light racing bike, how hard could it be on my steel frame touring bike with 60lbs of gear and a tummy full of hangover?

we didn't really plan a return route because it is likely we'll simply die on old la honda road.
