Preparation is endless

Preparing for two trips. The first is a father daughter trek from Seattle to Whitefish, MT following the Adventure cycling northern tier route (mostly). See http://www.adventurecycling.org/routes/northerntier.cfm

The second is leg number two of the continental divide trail with my touring buddies. Two years ago we covered Banff, AB to the US border at Roosville, MT, so this year we start in Roosville.

Different trips, different gear. First trip is road bikes with panniers, the second is mountain bike with a trailer. Some gear will be used for both, stove, water pack, clothing, basic tools. Making sure both bikes are in great shape and we have critical spare parts. Will include more detail later.
