Lessons Learned

1. Sleeping bags are overrated – just take a flannel bag liner and some warm clothes unless you expect really cold weather.

2. Smaller is better aka. volume is at least important as weight. If I could have fit all my stuff inside the panniers, waterproofing would have been obviated and I wouldn’t have had to deal with the trash bags. This means (1) either no sleeping bag or a small 60 degree bag, (2) a pad that folds smaller, and (3) put the tent and rain fly in the panniers, and just keep the poles outside.

3. Handlebar bags should be waterproof. They should also not be used without the front panniers, as they can cause strange handling characteristics.
