Before, during, and hopefully after account of a Great Divide Route journey in the summer of 2010.

Epic Design Bags

The doorbell rang Monday morning, and there was our little bundle of joy from Anchorage, Alaska.  I can't really imagine fitting all of our gear into these eight bags, but whatever.  We will make it work.  Eric from Epic Designs even included a little handwritten note in the box.  I love it when people do that.  If you go to his site, check out his videos of him rafting with his bike on the raft.  Crazy.

I was reading some other GDR biker's blog and he was reflecting on his experience of being picked up in New Mexico after he competed his journey.  He wished he had packed clean change of clothes along with a belt because he had lost 25 pounds during the two months he was riding.  Jebus.  That's serious weight loss.  He commented that it was fat, plus a lot of muscle.  I've definitely got chub to lose before the trip.
