Here’s a picture of the gear I’m taking. The gear list is available at my main website. 

Here it is all loaded up on the bike. Total weight is 80 pounds.

A close up of the bags (the dollar bill is for perspective).

I did a test ride today to see how the bike handled with all the gear loaded on it. I found a nearby 8% grade to ride up so that I could test it on the downhill. I easily exceeded the 40 mph speed limit with no handling problems! I did have to make some gearing adjustments – it’s a good thing I did my test ride far enough in advance to do so.
