What in the world do you take with you, if you spend 17 days on the road, sleeping in a different place for 17 nights straigt - especially if you only have a big and a small bike bag per person plus half of another bag? The only real advantage is that it does not take a long time to pack...

However, here is the list: 2 bike pants, 2 jerseys, 6 boxers, 8 pairs of socks, two sweaters, long pants, shorts, 5 t-shirts plus a normal shirt, rain jacket, one pair of shoes (plus wearing the other one), flip flops, camera, something to write, a toiletry bag, cap, bike tools and, of course, the sleeping bag.

Good for us: we have a few opportunities to wash our clothes on the way...
