very nice, will you also have a backpack?
Thanks Marshal. No backpack for me. Keep it all on the bike.
Hey Rob,
The set up looks awesome. Also great riding with you and Karlos a couple of weeks ago.
Good luck and see you in Canada.
Cheers,
Derek
What is the plan for the dynamo? Lighting or charging ancillaries or both?
Ross- the dynamo will run my primary light and charge my GPS battery. My Delorme GPS is a battery HOG!! I burn through a set of Lithium batteries about every day (~14/15 hours – go to regular alkaline and 8 hours is the norm). The cost for a 20+ day trip in gas station battery costs was staggering!! It will also be able to charge a storage battery that can then charge my cell phone and a back up rechargable head lamp while I sleep at night. I’m over “gadget’ed”, I know…. but I hope to not buy one battery the entire trip!
Derek – it was great to meet you. Best to you and see ya in about 4 weeks!!!!!
