How Much Will My Touring Gear Weigh?

My Touring Gear Lined Up and Ready to Pack?

I just got back from my first overnight ride of the year and it reminded me of how hard it is to pack for a bicycle tour. Of course, that's why we do a shake down overnight before any major tour, we forget things. This year it was towels. But luckily, I was at a campground where the owner knows me and he lent me a towel. I got distracted while packing and just forgot them even thought they were on my list. I also couldn't find my reading light even thought I had packed it. I've changed the location so it will be easier to find at night.
