My smartest move was taking the I-Phone rather than a PC although it limits my ability to upload photos along the way.<BR/>I have posted home or binned about half of this stuff: http://www.transamericatrailcycle.com/2008/04/kit.htmlAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755490516141328662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764497425221689069.post-81612432605196579512008-04-24T18:41:00.000-05:002008-04-24T18:41:00.000-05:00Love the blog Brian!

I'm...I think you're right about the lighter, Mike. I'm going to pack my computer in a padded sleeve and store it in my back panniers. The other items will be more exposed, the GPS will be mounted to the bike and my camera and MP3 will be in my handle bar bag to allow easy access. If I hit the ground, I'll just have to be lucky in more ways than one. As for shipping things, if I think that something isn't necessary now but may be helpful later I can ship to a post office further down the route. Thanks for the comment. I'll try to meet your expectations for proficient posting.The Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14178498700801299787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764497425221689069.post-68801934628942082512008-04-23T20:22:00.000-05:002008-04-23T20:22:00.000-05:00wow - that sounds like a lot of stuff. couple que...wow - that sounds like a lot of stuff. couple questions/suggestions...<BR/><BR/>1. i think you should replace your swimsuit with another lighter or two. you can always "swim" in shorts or bike shorts. i suppose you can always buy another lighter, but the cost/analysis of having a back up lighter v. swim trunks is one sided to me.<BR/>2. how are you going to pack your electronics? are your sidebags padded so should a clip issue arise and you fall your electronics will be protected?<BR/>3. what happens if you decide you need something after you've already sent it back? just pick a spot and have someone send it to a destination?<BR/><BR/>sounds awesome though - looking forward to a summer of posts!mouderkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241688692881700184noreply@blogger.com
