  • Self-Contained Bicycle Touring: Loading Up
    Self-contained Bicycle Touring: Loading Up In most circumstances, the theory and practice for bicycle touring in Africa, Asia and South America is little different from that used in the North America or Europe. The duration, geography and the surface characteristics of the roads you plan to use, and the kind of load you will be carrying, will influence the quality (durability) and type of the equipment you choose. In the end “spinning wheels got to go round.” LOADING UP If you are flying to the start of your adventure, before dismantling and packing your bike for the plane, do a dry run with all of your equipment setup on the bike. After your bike is serviced and you have planned what you are taking, assemble everything (racks, panniers, water bottles, pumps, clothes, tools, first aid kit, etc.) to make sure you have all the pieces, including every last screw, nut and bolt. Make sure that all the pieces fit! If you are using four panniers for off road riding you can distribute the weight 55% rear, 40% front, and less than 5% in the handlebar bag (the rear/front percentages should be reversed if you plan to stay on smooth paved roads). There are many techniques for arranging things in panniers. You will need to discover which is most comfortable for you. Right off the top people usually divide into the “packers” and the “stuffers.” The packers will carefully fold, group and bag associated items together (shirts, underwear, socks, trousers, bike gear, sleeping gear, cold weather gear, wet weather gear, sun gear, toiletries, tools, mess kit, wellness kit, office supplies, etc.) and place them tightly into their panniers.

    HEARTCYCLE BICYCLE TOURING CLUB JANUARY 2020 EARTCYC .H LE. W OR W G W C Heart-to-Heart O LE LO YC R TC ADO HEAR My Wishes for Cyclists in 2020 By Mara Abbott, Olympian and CTS Contributing Editor Each year since 2008, when I began working with my CTS Coach Dean Golich, I consider myself fortunate to be a part of this community. As we head through the holiday season and into 2020, these are my wishes for the rest of my CTS family in the new year: May you breathe fresh air and move your body every day. May you have enough intervals to challenge you, enough coffee-shop rides to keep your friendships strong, and at least one brilliant sunrise. May every crash and injury come with a lesson, and may you have the patience and insight to learn that lesson the first time around. And, may your bouts of road rash not exceed your current stash of Tegaderm. May you find someone with whom you can share your dreams and goals, and may you take the risk of getting very honest about those with yourself. May you reach the summit of at least one mountain. May your flat tires come on days when it is above zero degrees, when you have a wide shoulder, and when you are not desperately late for a meeting. If you don’t already, may you try bike commuting. And yoga. May you ride through falling snow, but avoid unfortunately-placed patches of ice. May you coast every once in a while.
