The number of tents still amazes me. The migration of an entire community by bike. I guess all of the tents and bags fit in the 3 Penske trucks. I'm guessing some carried their own tents and bags on bikes but don't know for sure. I wonder how many have biked this trip more than once.

Yes, all of the gear fit in the Penske trucks. Pretty much everyone had all their gear on the trucks. We only saw 2 or 3 that carried gear on their bikes. I think it was 25% of the riders had ridden this tour more than once. The support was a really well oiled machine that worked well. They have done it enough times to get it all down pat! They were great!
