Deans’ letter on its way
by Matt
We put the Deans’ Letter together on Monday; we expect it will be going out this week from Silver Lake. (That’s along with the Directors’ Letter and info guide, of course!)
We have been doing this since 1998, and it was interesting to see how our equipment list has evolved. The biggest change, of course, is when we converted from a two-week trip to a one-week trip…we no longer plan a laundry stop. (Our two-week trip included a layover in Maine where we did a laundromat run, and one of our church stops gave us a gracious offer of laundry for anyone who needed it!)
The requirements are otherwise about the same: bring what you need, don’t bring too much, and make sure you have a good roadworthy bike, a helmet, and water bottles.
I’ll talk about some of those things in upcoming posts.
