Super quite on the group and with summer approaching I was hoping more
people would be biking/touring and going a bit lighter than usual and
reporting in. I have been slacking a lot because Im preparing to take
off this Thursday for a 2 1/2 week long tour. With my rack and all the
gear Im estimating I put 17 lbs on the back of the bike. Ill take
pictures and write up a report of exactly what Im taking (no weights as
I dont have a scale like that). Then I plan to report back when I finish
as to what worked and what didnt. What I wished Id brought and what I
was sorry to have brought.

Ok so some of you are "un" moderated which means that if you post it
goes right through. So far all you have to do is post a couple of times
and get approved and I change you over to unmoderated.

Is there anyone else out there that would be ok with moderating for 2.5
weeks for me while Im gone. The list has been so quiet that I dont think
it will be much work but Id rather keep it concurrent if there is any
activity (still wondering why there is no activity though). Id prefer
someone that is already unmoderated but I dont have that list handy.

Any volunteers?
