Solo Touring

[cosc]

I finished a 6 day solo unsupported ride a few weeks ago. My 4 panniers, tent, and touring bike was much heavier than my carbon bike. Keep this in mind and think about alternative camping spots, in case your body or weather says enough for one day.
I wrote up a ride report, but my computer froze up and I lost it when trying to add pictures.
I found people were much more friendly to a touring cyclist than when on a regular ride. My tour started from home, so the same people that pass without a smile, were now waving at me.
I had all good experiences and felt safe, except for the one too many trucks.
I hope you have a great trip.
