I'm only using my rear rack and saddlebags for this trip, but my load turns out to be so big and heavy that I wonder if I should have better balanced my load by using front saddlebags as well.

Good thing I've decided not to bring any beverages along on this trip, as there isn't enough room to add anything else!
