The Gear

I leave for Vancouver Island on Tuesday (8 June) already and still have so much to do. Time flies!

I decided to test all my gear today. I still need a few small things, but the most important bits are in the photo below.



I'm loving the MSR Dragonfly and MSR Hubba Hubba tent.

The total weight of this load is 17.7 kg without food and water. It all fits nicely onto the rack, and I still have some space to spare.




I'll give more info on my first stop and route on Vancouver Island in my next post.


Say hello to my new best friend.

Welcome!

Welcome everyone. This is a blog will serve as a journal of my cycling tour through the Rocky mountains and the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta in Canada in the summer of 2010.

I'll write more extensively about the planned route, schedule, gear and other things in the following few days.

Here is a quick peek of the route, but I plan to change this a lot as things progress.
