Just had my first accident of my trip! So stupid - I was pulled over on a steep incline taking pictures and when I got on the bike again I tipped it right over! thankfully I got my leg out from under and was able to get it back up okay. Minor damage to the front brake lever which is now bent funny but everything else is okay. Ugh that was not cool. I am a bit upset at the stupidity of it.

Gear Review: Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks

In the past couple months on the road I think I’ve spent more time riding my scooter through rain than I have in the dry – this is clearly reflected in the fact that as time has gone by I’ve invested more and more money in things to keep my stuff dry, since wet gear sucks. One of my favorite purchases for this trip is the pair of Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks I picked up just before leaving, in 13L and 20L sizes. They cost me around $20 each and are one of the best pieces of gear I’ve purchased in years – extremely durable, effective, and simple to use.
