I thought it might be interesting and/or helpful if I wrote out what I brought on the trip with notes. Questions are welcomed.
Clothing
Clothing
- Five pairs of bike shorts (Sent one pair home)

- Five pairs of socks (One pair of socks never got worn)
- Three bandanas; borrowed two more from my father (Used four out of five)

What I Wish I'd Brought
