This is a plan for next summer, I am going to use the winter to prepare both myself and a bike. Right now I am looking at a couple options bike wise. I have a hardtail Trek that I can build up or a FS Schwinn. I see pros and cons both ways. However this will be my first bike camping trip. I have racks, panniers, backpacks, and water filters. What items should I prep for. I would like any tips possible. Any links etc. I have a tent, sleeping bags, sleep mat, and some other basics. However I do not have a good portable camp stove. I am also new to packing backpacking type food. I have always car camped or had a camper. Basically I am a complete newbie at this. The only part I am confident in is the actual riding. I am looking for a 3 day 2 night run for the first one. If I really enjoy it (Which I am sure I will) I will do longer runs. Another questions is..... What part of the Colorado Trail should I do? Sorry if this is all over the place, I just get excited thinking about the subject.
