I've done a half week supported tour for the last couple years (doing it again this year- only the full week).
Every year I've adjusted my list.
This year I'm going to bring:

1. comfy off-bike shoes to walk around the town and sightsee after the day is over.
2. small, compact umbrella. Last year I had showered and got dry then a brief shower soaked me on th eway back to my tent and I shivered for the rest of the night. If I had an umbrella I would have stayed dry.
3. more comfortable pillow. I brought a camping pillow for two years, and I'm always uncomfortable when I sleep. This year I'm bringing my regular pillow and putting it in a space bag to compress it for space.
4. light, but warm leggings and l/s shirt. There were two nights when I was chilly and wished I'd had something warmer.
5. pump. I've always just wandered in camp and asked to borrow somebody's, but this year I want to have my own so I don't have to bum one.


Yes- ear plugs are a necessity!!!! Oh, and bring a full size towel. And if you don't bring a clothesline- at least bring some clothesins to clip your wet clothes (that I wash in the shower with me) to your tent or a nearby fence.

Have fun!!!!
