Glory Hallelujah!! 🌅
“Glory Hallelujah!!” is what I felt like shouting yesterday evening, when I learned that I had a Pork Belly tent for RAGBRAI.
It’s an immense relief to me. Not that I think I can’t learn to set up a tent; but as a first-timer, it will be better if I don’t have the added pressure of having to find a camp site each evening; and then put up a tent when I’m hot and tired and hungry.
Having a Pork Belly tent also means that my luggage is taken care of. I won’t have to carry it from the baggage truck to my campsite. “Porkers” are allowed two bags; but since I now don’t need to pack a tent, I just might be able to get away with a single bag! Glory Hallelujah!!
Hold On ✋
Oh — no — hold on a minute. I did some practice packing; and even without a tent, I’ll need both my duffle bags. Even when I’ve put my sleeping bag into a compression stuff sack! Ergo my “Glory Hallelujah” re: packing was somewhat premature!
As someone at Pork Belly suggested, I can use one bag for camping stuff (sleeping pad, etc.); and one bag for clothes. As I’m flying, I’ll need a way to carry things that aren’t permitted in check-in luggage.
It’s time review what can go into a carry-on. I don’t want to hear, hold on, when I’m trying to make it to my flight!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
