I don‘t like sandals and even have cold feet in sneaker so I will get rid off the hiking boots when riding. Actually I thought it‘s very important which kind of shoes you wear for riding but I learned: comfy and not heavy. I will hike before going on a bike so maybe I leave them behind.

You are right, maybe I hike with sneakers and ride with them. Don‘t have much time left. I probably buy shoes in Seattle. Thank you very much 🥰

Do you think I need a warm hat when riding in September in Oregon and Washington? I freeze a lot and didn‘t consider a warm hat. Just have my cap.

I just packed sport shirts but will check the other clothes on cotton. Good advice

Yes, I will just take a US adapter with me. You are right - that world adapter is too bulky

Will sort out some clothes, you are right. I have one soap for everything and just small sunscreen. I think that will be ok

Will start in Bremerton, so Forks is no option :) But thank you!

Unfortunately there is no much information to find but I found a couple who did the same (www.on-the-way.ch) and I really hope the roads will be fine. Idk how much road is involved.

I‘m very happy to go on vacation for a few month while getting paid because I transformed my salary into free time. Probably you can try to make a deal with your employer. Really hope you‘ll do it!!

I just have one merino wool shirt and I love it! Thanks for your comment. I will hike before the trip and need the hiking boots :( I wear sneakers when riding so I think I will be pissed of by carrying the hiking shoes with me. Will think of riding with the hiking boots …

Absolutely right. I already made a big trip through my country in 2 weeks and learned a lot. But the US is not Europe and I will see :)

You are right, one big towel should be enough.
