So far, the LHT has been a joy to ride. Jas is riding a Windsor road bike with paniers (rather than the trailer) and has already had a flat in his rear tube twice. I haven't had a flat yet, nor a problem with the bike. The Brooks saddle has been a bit rough on the bum, as it's damn solid with no cushioning. Apparently they need to be broken in, so I'm hoping that doesn't take much longer. I think riding in the rain yesterday helped. Are you planning to ride down the coast? -k Hey Ren,

Are you planning to ride down the coast?

I'm sure this travelogue will be a nice resource especially since - looks like you're riding a Surly LHT? That's my dream bike and I'd love to see how she holds up for you. Good luck and drier days ahead... Hey soundcyst, I was linked here from LJ and I happen to be researching my own first tour.
