| Rare occurrence of cooking while touring |
After a day in the saddle, starting a fire and cooking
dinner does not appeal to me and I rather not lug around a camp stove and
cookware on a bike. Instead, we bring
food that doesn’t require preparation and stop at a café for breakfast.

Having breakfast at the local morning gathering place is a
good way to sample local culture. I’ve
enjoyed many of the overheard conversations, such as about crocks of sauerkraut
fermenting or reminiscences about a certain cow on a childhood farm. In Sparta, we pulled our bikes up next to
rows of motorcycles and ate breakfast with a whole other breed of biker.
What food you bring is a personal preference, but you can
only fit so much on your bike. I like to keep things simple and don’t mind a
good deal of monotony when touring. Everything tastes good after so much
exercise, anyway.
Be sure to hang your food from a tree where it's out of reach of hungry critters!
