2010-09-13 Ride on home

Decided it was a bit too top heavy with the crate on the way to school so I just dropped the laptop and a few things in the crate. Everything else road on my back. It wasn't too bad; except I really missed the bag free back I experienced on the way in. I noticed the wobble from the rack, and well the current one is not designed for heavy loads (I guess that means a u-lock, laptop, and a few note books) that high up is problematic. No worries though.

When I got home today, I scoured the web for panniers, and found an awesome bike in New Hampshire that came with everything you might need for touring, which definitely covers daily commutes and camping trips.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices

  • TCX Course

    Useful for any GPS unit. Contains no cuesheet entries, only track information (breadcrumb trail). Will provide turn by turn directions (true navigation) on the Edge 705/800/810/1000/Touring, but will not have any custom cues. Works great for Mio Cyclo. Find GPS specific help in our help system.
