Please Keep in mind, this is my FIRST TOUR. ever. !!! So if you think I'm crayfish for bringing all my recreational items, or that I have too many pairs of socks, drop me a line. I'd love to hear any constructive criticism. I did take a test ride and the load feels really balanced and I can still ride comfortably. If at any point, I find something cumbersome, too heavy or bulky and I haven't touched it or thought about it...someone will be receiving a package...
