The Gear
I'll tell you now that the below is inaccurate and out of date.
I ended up leaving Fort Collins with a bike and gear that came in an 100 pounds. I reduced my load twice while I was on the road. Updating this to reflect what I actually carried is the last big thing I expect to do before putting these pages "to bed".
