This will be a show and tell session about self-supported bike touring and camping, doubling as a pre-meeting for the 6 May event.

I will show up with my bike, fully loaded. We will discuss how to equip your bike for a tour, what to bring, and what to expect from the ride. You are welcome to bring your own bike and show your setup.
