GEAR

The following list is the gear that I am bringing on my ride.  I have listed the basics of my bike and any modifications I have made.  The rest fits in the panniers as portrayed in the very first post.   

One note I would like to make here is that only one of these items was purchased from REI.  The rest of the gear was purchased through other venders such as Adventure 16 or directly from the company.  A-16 was especially helpful!  They had a great selection of performance gear and the pricing was comparable to REI.  What made A-16 irreplaceable was the advice I was able to get from their staff!  I talked to a couple of their staff who had been on long touring adventures of their own.  This is less common than one might think and unbelievably helpful!

Special thanks to Peter Muffoletto for all his support!

If you would like more information about the gear please let me know. 

PS: I will try and link all these items at some point so you can just click on the item to see where to buy it.
