Next Friday, 9/11, I am headed to San Diego to start a cross country bike trip, the PAC Tour southern route. PAC will carry my bags, and I will be staying in the finest Super8 motels across the land – literally! Just a bit nervous, but I have trained close to 4000 miles this year and feel almost ready.

Time to turn the tables. What do you think I should bring? There is an official gear list, but I want to know what one item you would take on the trip. Other than a bike, or motor.

Please support my ride to raise money for the Pan Mass Challenge and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Thanks!
