Okay I think I'm packed for my SF -> LA bike ride. I've got my 18.5lb full carbon road racing bike loaded with a 3lb rack and 17lbs worth of gear. I tried riding it the other day with 8 beers loaded in the back and I seriously felt as if I was balancing an orange on a chopstick; rounding corners feels scary and getting up out of the saddle to sprint is an absolute no-no.
So what makes up 15 lbs worth of gear?

I think I'm in this picture somewhere. I started riding WPH again, and it's definitely just as fast as I remember it. At least now I have the legs and bike to hang now. Every monday, 10pm @ Tang's Donuts in Silver Lake
