It looks like I'll be taking my Atlantis on a quick 2-night tour in the next few days. I'll be camping instead of staying in hotels. I haven't bike camped before, so I need ideas on how to load up the bike. If you have pics of your Rivendell loaded up for a quick tour, post 'em here!

Here is mine with a load for a couple of nights. probably more than actually needed, but it had food and cooking gear for 2 days. rear has sleeping pad, tent and tools. front has a soft cooler and small items in the basket. front panniers hold the sleeping bag, clothes, cooking stuff. i basically used the same set up for tours that last a week or longer. i havent quite figured out how to pack for a s240 yet.

Here's a photo of my Hunq dressed up for a trip with Surly front rack, Ortlieb Front-Roller bags, a medium Wald Basket and Large Saddlesack. Here is a popular link to my blog about bike packing.
Hope it helps.

Pack light, but with lots of food and water if you won't have places to stop.
Cheers,

Nice looking Bombadil!
I have the Raceguard G-ones that are sold on the riv site. I really like them on dry roads and gravel. Haven't really ridden anything else on them, but I hear they don't do well in wet conditions. They feel really fast and comfy. They eat up a ton of road vibration so it feels like you're flying on rocket clouds...or something like that. They aren't very durable though. I've ridden them about 800 miles so far and the rear tire has already lost lots of tread. I suppose that's always the trade off for lightweight/fast tires.
Cheers,
Tim
