Trans-WI to TUPeR: The Gear

In case you were wondering what one brings along on a 1100-1200 mile bike ride through the most remote part of the midwest, below is my gear list.  I hope to/plan on dropping about 2 pounds worth of gear after the first two days when Carol splits off and heads home (IE I will dump stuff on on her)... but about half of that will be food that I will eat, and I just won't buy as much to replace it with:
