Equipment Shakedown
So this weekend will be the first run with what I have on hand. So far that includes:
- SissyBar Luggage
- Tent (freaking *huge* tent)
- Rain Gear (hopefully it gets here in time. I ordered it yesterday with 2nd day shipping, fingers crossed)
I still so very uncertain that this tent was the best purchase for a solo trip. I didn't get a chance to set it up over the weekend since I was sick (read back one post to get the details). I'm hoping to find time this week to set it up a few times.
This tropical storm could prove interesting. If it comes in and gives us some rain this will be a really good test of equipment and rider. I'm a bit nervous since the place I'm going camping has nothing but *very* dusty gravel roads. I've only ridden on a few gravel roads and from what I remember it wasn't fun. But taking it slow and at my own pace is what I'll be doing..
More later...
