Hey folks,
I put this PDF guide together for some lecturers I'll be doing around Boston this spring, helping people who want to go on their first tour, get inspired dand get out there on their bikes. These lectures mainly involve me unpacking my bike and making fun of my disasters on the road while of course going on about how much I love bike touring and how easy it is.
Here's the handout.

For the newbies, if you've got a burning question that I am completely glossing over, I'd love to know it. For the old hands on this site, if you do take a look at this, 1. I am sure you will have something that you find important that I am leaving out, but 2. I'd still like to know of course what that is...as I've got about an hour to convert rooms full of willing newbies into gung-ho tourers! GRIN. Notably, I am not offering very specific gear recommendations, but will have a bunch on hand for folks to see how it works together...
Thanks,
Knox Gardner
