It has been a long day. I have been running across the city gathering supplies for the trip tomorrow. I have mounted 2 side saddles to the hybrid bike to carry the supplies. After searching several farmer's markets and the local Chinatown, the following set of food supplies have been gathered.
1. 1 lb of concord grape raisins
2. 1 lb of beef jerky
3. 1 lb of smoked fish
4. 10 oatmeal bars
5. 10 vitamin supplement tablets
6. 10 potassium supplement tablets
As for equipment I'm bringing the following:
1. 1 Multi-purpose Swiss army knife
2. 1 Compact bike tire repair kit
3. 1 Compact First aid kit
4. 1 Bottle of Sun block
3. 1 Compact bike pump
4. 1 Liter rail mounted plastic water bottle
5. 2 Liter back mounted plastic water bottle
6. 1 LED flashlight
7. 1 miniature compass
8. 1 rain poncho
9. 1 Kryptonite U-Lock
10. 1 Smartphone+charger
11. 1 box of matches
12. Maps of Long Island
Fully loaded, I'll be hauling 25 lbs of gear on this journey. If truth be told, I'm a little bit nervous. This could be a dangerous journey. Still, it's something that I have committed myself to doing.
