Bravo! Great plan! I’ve just returned from 3000 km in 7 countries in Europe. You guys will definitely be ready for something like that!!! I loved doing the Pacific Coast Highway and have plans to do it again. Enjoy the experience !
You are so welcome prepared. That’s probably the hardest part. Hope you enjoy the ride! Do have a special set of scales to weigh your gear? Or like me, just use bathroom scales?
Mayas is the Norco search AR flatbar gravel bike. Mine is the specialized carbon sport. Mayas has a one x drive train and mine is the 2x drive train. Maya wants the 2x and I want the 1x. Lol. Maya is liking her bike so far and is quite affordable , I love my bike but it was quite expensive. Both came with plenty of braze-ons to attach all the things.
The Pacific Coast Hwy. in California is very hectic and traffic laden. Steal yourselves for the crowds and effort. Sounds like a wonderful adventure and beautiful coastal views.
Marathon PLUS tires! Absolute best puncture proof tires, without having to run extra tire guards inside the tires. Also, learn how to do tire repair while sitting on the road; which is where you will be repairing your flat tires. Haha. Marathon Plus tires have a really stiff sidewalls, so here's a video on how to mount them on your rim without damaging the sidewalls. ruclips.net/video/-XUFVrl0UT4/видео.html They really are worth the investment. Many long-term touring cyclists swear by them, me included. Tire irons, don't use the plastic types, instead buy some quality aluminum tire irons.
@@thepetitepedalers I would say that also but I don't like getting exhausted. Been a rough summer here riding a few miles 4x a week can't imagine having energy to to this 😑
Your set up looks great! You're very organized, and I love your personalized triangle bag, so smart!
Thank you so much!

I am so stoked for you both, this is an awesome trip. Love your setup!
Thanks so much!!
Great pre-tour list and prep!
Glad you liked it!
Great video , I would also recommend an ultra lightweight camp chair.
I have the helinox chair zero which I forgot to mention. So far only used it once but hopefully it will see more use
So exciting!! I would love to do this 😍 I'm trying to decide on a touring bike. What bikes are you two using? Thanks for the informative video!

This is amazing!! Have you looked for some kind of helmet mount for your go-pro?
Maya bought a mount with her go pro
Which bike alarm did you get?
