The Bag for ALC


This is the bag I bought a couple of years ago to do ALC rides. It is the Rolling Adventure Duffle by L.L. Bean. It will fit my sleeping bag and pad (or twin sized air mattress), cycling clothes for 7 days, extra kick around clothes, 1 pair of shoes (clogs) for camp, my camp towel, toiletries bag and extra bike gear (tubes mostly) and other misc. things. Usually there's lots of extra room too and good thing because somehow by Day 4, I find that my gear has gotten out of control and it fills in the extra space! Beware, however, that if you are flying with it you will likely get charged for having oversized or overweight luggage. That can be as much as an extra fifty bucks if you're not careful!
