Probably doing 30-40 miles a day at a leisurely pace. Rental company will be providing the bikes, paniers and helmets. What should I plan on bringing clothing and other equipment-wise--want to travel light. Thanks!


Answer
All trips start with a credit card/cash -- it'll get you out of almost any difficulty.

Basic bike stuff: water bottles, extra tube, pump, patch kit, etc. Tires, spokes and tools are usually provided by the operator

More or less you want to cover the "10 essentials": Map, Flashlight / Headlamp, First-Aid Kit, Pocket Knife, Insect Repellents, Sunscreen, Sunglasses, Medications, Toiletries.

Layered clothes to handle a variety of weather conditions. Post ride clothes can usually part of your layering. Extra bike shorts (wash one, wear one). Small amount of soap (to wash aforementioned bike clothes). Lightweight rain jacket and some plastic bags to handle inclement weather. One of those free hotel shower caps makes a pretty good helmet cover.

Special food or drink that you like on a ride (mostly I pick it up at stores along the way)

Depends on whether you are camping or hoteling. Camping requires more gear, tent, sleeping bag, etc. Hoteling covers the basics, towels, shampoo, etc so you can go lighter.

Have a great trip!

Where can I find a good online camping gear store?

Hi everyone.

I am planning to have a bike tour from Chicago to NY this summer. So I need to find few camping light-weight camping gears. Basically I need.

1 pot
1 gasoline stove
1 tent (3 season for 1 person)
1 sleeping bag
all of those around $ 120~160

I figured I can shop them in one spot and save some shipping cost.
I do not care whether they are used or new but I want to keep them cheap yet reliable. Is there any store that offers a reliable bargain?



Answer
Go to www.sportsmanguide.com they have a lot of stuff at really low prices. I got a really good deal on a treadmill saved almost $50 after comparing prices to other stores. Don't forget where ever you buy from, always do a google search for coupon codes for discounts. Xbargins always has the most updated codes.
