My new ride "Koga Miyata World Traveller". I bought this bike in 2006 for my Alaska to Mexico tour, but ended up using a different bike. So this top of the line touring bike will make it's Maiden Voyage in two weeks. I took it out today for a test ride unloaded and it felt great. Next comes a loaded test ride with all my camping gear and equipment. I will then weigh the bike loaded. I expect 90 to 100 pounds with gear, food, and water. It won't be easy climbing across the Rockies with this weight. Emory Pass is the highest point on this route at 8,228 feet in New Mexico. I better get into shape quick!
