In readiness for our intended 'grand' tandem cycle tour, we thought it wise to see everything would fit on the bike! We have toured previously but packing for a week is not quite the same as packing for a much longer trip. The tandem and kit including camping gear weighs in at 170 pounds (77kgs), so wherever we go we will be going slowly! We are planning to set off mid August starting from home and heading for Europe and beyond.........
