Last year we did the first half of the Southern Tier&#8211;San Diego to Austin. You can see the story of that journey in a separate blog (http:\/\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/doc\/annmactour2015). This year, it&#8217;s Austin, to St. Augustine (or thereabouts), then up the Atlantic Coast to Youngsville, North Carolina outside Raleigh-Durham, total of around 2,000 miles. We ride unsupported on Surly Long Haul Truckers, about 40 miles a day average, camping and doing motels.<br \/>\nPacking was a little easier after the experience gained last year. You don&#8217;t really need that much stuff, especially clothes, but even with less than 24 hours left, I was going through the difficult calculus of paring my load to what is truly needed. We bought a lighter tent this year &#8211; Hubba Hubba 2-person tent.

The mornings are chilly, but it&#8217;s been getting warm about an hour after sunrise. So I wasn&#8217;t surprised when I was shivering in the first few minutes of the ride this morning.
