I was expressing my regret that I didn't buy a bag when they were called
Baggins when he corrected me. Actually the Sackvilles were another family
in the Shire.
Ahhh. All is well.

bag of potatoes, 1 lb salami, 1 lb cheese, several pounds of quinoa,
I spent the summer of 2005 on the road. One of the many many cool things
about a long tour is that you evolve a very good packing system. A few
weeks in, you can set up camp or break down camp in about minutes. It's
very comforting to always know where everything is.
I am very glad that I had
Don't forget gaffers tape, a pipe clamp, and extra rack hardware.
That is quite a load, I'm curious as to what racks and panniers you're
using.
I'm a fan of the french press, but if you're you're grinding two weeks of
coffee before you embark it probably won't taste any better than
French press - now that's a man with his priorities straight.
Still, I've got to concur with Kevin M that Via is not too bad at all. But
I've never toured anywhere so I'm not speaking as a bike touring expert,
only as a coffee drinker.

But for a lot of us coffee is a thing you do, not just a thing you drink.
When I lived around the corner from Vine St. Peet's, it was the going that
I enjoyed the most. Coffee on tour, for me, is this small red cone filter
holder and waiting for the drip. It's just how I do coffee on tour.
I'll try this one more time here before I put them up for auction and/or do
something silly.
Heavy duty 26 touring wheels.

mm to reduce dish, but works fine in steel bikes with 135 rear spacing.

It's for loads like this that Grant added the 2TT. 100 lb loads call
for an extra stout bike. My Atlantis has a nice cushy ride on 40 mm
tires with 40-50 lbs; probably need to think about it before doubling
up on that.

I do know on my other tour bikes .. including the compact frames that when
loaded and standing they were very noodle feeling .. like standing together on
a tandem the first time... or riding in sand.. had to pedal very consciously.
This one first time out blew my mind.. I just stood up
That is a beautiful bike. Wish I had the space and funds :(

Some thoughts:
I don't see a pump listed but you'll surely need one. Get one with an
integrated gauge (Topeak Road Morph), or calibrate your thumb and
leave the separate gauge behind.
Take a couple of Fiberfix spokes, leave the chain whip at home.
I agree with Mike, you're way long on wool
iPad is a luxury but is really nice for tv on my slingbox.. And I use it to
duplicate the ad cards .. If sd is damaged photos on iPad if ipad destroyed
still have photos.
The pump is a frame pump ..unlisted ...feels like part of bike... Just picked
up really nice pressure gauge. I agree with
A 14 day self-contained Alaska trip sounds awesome. What fun!
For my bike camping coffee, I love using a Melitta single cup drip brewer
paired with a gold filter. I like it because it's small, lightweight, easy
to clean, and creates no waste other than the spent grounds.
Most importantly,
Where will you be touring? I lived up there for 13 years and I am
envious.
One item I didn't see was a mosquito headnet. Do not forget it. I've
seen otherwise sane people lose their minds due to the bugs. I'd also
make sure that some of your clothing is bug proof (rain pants and
jackets
OK, it's a new year, and I'm starting to get excited about Riv Rally
East 2012. Here's the quick skinny on this year's plan (so far):
This year I'm planning the 2-day Rally to ride along the Great

@Kelly:
Interesting...maybe a lot of tour bikes aren't as over-built as
commonly assumed. The only other bike I've toured on was a converted
racing bike (obviously inadequate), with the same noodly feel you
describe. On tour, one tends to see lots of converted MTBs.
Personally not a fan of the

Best of luck. Sounds like a fantastic trip.
They have water on Alaska. I suggest bringing some laundry soap,maybe a
collapsible sink, and a clothesline, in place of all those clothes. Wash
every day or two, bring clothes for three days, and you're golden. I can
assure you your riding partners
