I'm planning a trip, first week of January. My girlfriend is going to be a cruise with her folks, so I'm gonna get some "me time" with the Kat. I have a bit of vacation to use so I'm going to be leaving Houston New Years day with the goal of arriving in Gila National Forrest on Jan 2nd, Enchanted Rock SNA on Jan 3rd and back to Houston on Jan 4th. Most of my riding experience is limited to 250-300 mile day trips. I'll be pushing it doing about 2500 miles in 4 days, hell I might just get me an Iron Butt out of this.
I'll be camping the entire time so I'll be loaded down with bedding, tent, various backpacking gear, clothe. I'll probably be sticking to freeze dried food/MRE's to cut weight and space. Current storage gear is limited to an ICON Urban tank bag, and alot of innerframe backpacks, but I'd rather not have anything strapped to me if I can help it.
This is my route as of right now.
So what I'm looking for are suggestions on packing a Kat, things to watch out for, experiences doing distances like this.
If all goes well I'll be bringing back alot of pictures, and hopefully some good stories.
