Packin' Ain't Easy

Here's the deal: packing for vacation is tough enough. Now turn that "vacation" into a 3,000 mile pedal and you've got yourself quite the predicament. After already receiving our fair share of questions regarding our packing lists, we decided to compose a list that includes the essentials and not-so-essentials that we have each packed for The Shoulder Series.

In other news, we have arrived in Santa Barbara, CA after a long (LONG) drive, and are looking forward to our last supper tonight! We hope to be on the road by 7 o'clock in the A.M. tomorrow, but forecasts are calling for a 70% chance of procrastination. Cheers to the last day without pain - bring it on, USA.
