lots of ctc thoughts rattling around
bike prep is soon due
pacer reconfiguring to fast tour/rando mode
porteur, fenders, lights, done
maybe a new chain and cassette
some 25mm treads wouldn’t hurt either
the 28mm gatorskins are fresh
but offer little fender clearance
which is a liability with 90 miles
of possibly wet and muddy rail trail
otherwise the bike is set
position is dialed for distance covering comfort
tools into the seat bag
clothes, food, and other bits on the porteur
packing minimally this year
leaving the camp gear at home
hotels can be your friend
still more thoughts rattling around…
