Time to Pack: Camino de Santiago 2014




Now that the bike is tuned up is time to pack. I am always surprised to realize how little stuff we actually need to live with. With bikes the temptation is to take more than when we were walking but we are trying to fight this.  We have managed to limit our gear to just front and back paniers with no other stuff tied on - we will see if that lasts.
