Yes, I had a blast! Still reflecting back on the experience and dreaming of my next trip. Maybe the British Columbia portion of the book (Riding Down The Pacific Coast). It sounds wonderful!

BikerHen, I did not have a BOB sack, so I stored items in dry bags that I use for kayaking and held them down with the bungee cord. It worked really well and kept me organized and things stayed dry! I do think it would be helpful to have either the hard case (like my neighbor had on her BOB) or the BOB sack. Just to make sure nothing gets lost.

I would like to try a trip with pannier bags so I can decide which method works best for me. I got use to pulling the BOB and it is convenient, but I've heard good things about pannier bags too.
