I am getting some new orders which will keep me out for some time and I have had this cross country run in my head for some time. Basically, west coast to east coast and back. The first portion will be ( hopefully ) an iron butt run coast to coast and then up the east coast, then back through the center of the US to the west.
I plan on packing light and staying with friends and family ( and military bases maybe ) to keep costs down.
I have a gps to keep me in the loop, and my iphone will keep me connected to the world during stops.
What gear would you consider essential ( such as mini tire pump, other tools?) to safely do this? For some reason, I am worried about my chain. It seems like that could really ruin things ( its the military in me; looking for weak links...no pun)
What is your guys advice?
Thanks
