Riding a Tour

[DeniseGoldberg]

Dar -
I hate wet feet too, but in my experience shoe covers only work in light rain. (Then again, I just looked up what I thought I bought as a rain cover from PI, and they don't seem to exist anymore.) Once the rain gets really heavy, well I always seem to end up with water sloshing between my toes!

On the rain jacket front - can't give you any recommendations for inexpensive jackets. But I would recommend that whatever you get has pit zips.

Nanci already pointed to to my site - my packing list journal can be accessed directly at http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/journal/DenisePacks. If you have any questions about my lists, ask away! Oh, and even though I made this list for my solo tours (no support), the gear is pretty much the same. It's up to you how many of each item you take - you many not be limited to my own self-imposed limit of 2 sets of bike clothes (I was them out every night).

What kind of tour is it? I assume it's some kind of organized ride since you're limited to 2 duffel bags.
