Pre-Tour Training

Since then I've added more weight - food, water and other odds and ends.
This past week has been a trial. I've given myself a week and a half (with the half still remaining) to do some long rides on consecutive days. Oh buddy - it's been tough - exhausting. The rides have gone well but I am a little nervous about keeping up with the group. That's not to say I'm discouraged, but I've had to go over my gear more than once to lighten the load. I don't know how much it all weighs, but tomorrow I'll have access to some scales and will find out.
Wednesday, May 2nd I will be leaving to go to Salt Lake - and Saturday, May 5th I will be catching a ride to Astoria, Oregon - then on May 7th - I start my journey across the country.
