OUACHITAS

In attempts of preparing for the unknown circumstances we were to experience during Tour Del Sur, we took a five day trip through the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas, USA. We wanted to make sure the gear we had, meet our expectations and that an obvious item hadn't escaped our year of purposeful planning.

Another big looming question was, how hard will it be to cycle up hill with all this extra weight?! Neither of us had ever done a cycling tour and one of us had much mature climbing legs than the other. Aaron had done some weekend bike-camping with frame bags, but neither of us had the experience of panniering it up.
