What I brought along -- Exhibit A

Straps — and more straps! These adjustable straps were on my list because you never know what you’ll have to strap onto your bike or person on a trip like this. I also have multiple velcro straps along.

My sun protection and cooling long sleeved shirt - it’s a funky black and white pattern. You might remember a similar shirt from my 2018 ride. I loved that shirt, but it was TRASHED!!

I’ve got two long sleeved wool shirts - one for cold biking and this red patterned one for cold nights camping. Can’t wear the damp sweaty one to bed!
