Biking Adventures with Mike!

Prepping for the Journey

A 9 day trip, 8 days of biking in the heat and humidity.  What in the world did I sign up for?  As it gets closer, aka, two days away, I am getting more excited.  People have had mixed reactions to hearing about the trip, from that's awesome, to WHY?  I, as many of you know, was quite skeptical when this idea was first mentioned to me, but as I have been preparing I have gotten increasingly more excited (which is probably good, right?).  Maybe that is because Mike just told me that the town he decided we are staying in the first night has a Dairy Queen!  (If you didn't already know, I am sure through reading this you will come to see that I seriously love DQ Blizzards!)

I am attempting to figure out exactly what to put into my pannier, that Mike will be carrying.  The big debate right now, is it more important to have clean clothes to bike in each day, or clean clothes to wear in the afternoon once we are done biking for the day and have showered?  Everything is in a pile on my floor right now, waiting to see exactly how much I can fit into that pannier. 

Aside from clothing, and actually packing my bag, I am pretty much set.  I made a list, have compared it to others I found online, and that my mom sent me, and think we should be good to go.
