>>1391046I eat a lot of food from grocery store delis and pack energy/cereal bars. My food budget is $15-20 a day so I sometimes eat at restaurants or food trucks
I have a bivvy bag, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and sleeping bag liner all in the front bag on my bike. I usually stealth camp on the beach or in state parks. I also use Warm Showers a lot and stay at other bicycle tourers houses.
I carry a tooth brush, paste, and deodorant. I typically shower at camp sites or marinas almost every day, warm showers helps as well.
I didn't plan at all. I got home from fishing in Alaska and decided I was going to ride my bike south. I packed up and started riding. If I want to use Warm Showers I'll plan a day or two ahead, if not I just ride and around 4pm look on Gmaps for where I want to end my ride. I've been averaging 100 miles a day but now I'm in California where I have many friends and family so I just plan where I'm going to stop even if it's only 50 miles away.
