By Laura Killingbeck| Adventure Cyclist Magazine Verified No matter where I am in the US, there’s always an Adventure Cycling route close by. When I lived in Michigan, I pedaled out my door onto the North Lakes route. In Arizona, I was just a few miles from the Great Divide. When I visited my friend Alison in San Francisco, I biked from her house onto the Pacific Coast Route. And in Massachusetts, I got to host my friends Kaisa and Christoffer as they pedaled down the Atlantic Coast Route.

The goal is to have everything you need and also to need everything you have. Bring less stuff! Ask yourself “What would happen if I didn’t bring this?” If the answer is unremarkable, then leave it at home. Repackage consumables like toiletries, food, and chain lube into smaller containers and remove extra packaging.

On the outskirts of Shanghai, the buildings began to grow skyward. Factories morphed into apartment complexes. Apartments stretched into office towers. It felt like I was cycling into a man-made canyon, its glass and steel walls a potent reminder of China’s booming economy. It was December 12, 2013, and I was as anxious as I was excited. I knew my buddy Morgan was, too.
