My life weighs 85 lbs. That’s 30 lbs. for the bike and racks plus another 55 lbs. of crap that will be my entire existence when I leave for my round the world (RTW) trip. I’ve named my bike “Muffin Top” because of the way it’s been overpacked. There are some extra items thrown in so I start off with a worst case scenario, pushing me to train with a bit of extra weight before I leave.

Muffin Top – Packing List Part 1
March 10th, 2010So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed
March 8th, 2010For this week’s Travel Math Monday, I packed up my stuff to test how much I’ll be hauling around on my bike. In doing so, I realized some interesting comparisons to my current life and what I’m leaving behind. Total weight of everything I currently own: 6375 lbs.
My packing list is coming later this week!
