I am intending on doing some light touring around the end of August beginning of September from Philadelphia to New York. Route is about 160 km. I've done longer stints with rear and front panniers all full of gear but won't need to this time as I intend on doing it in a day and have friends in New York I'll be staying with so no camping. I don't want to take a rucksack and feel panniers would be overkill for a day trip.
Also don't want to spend a fortune for such a short trip so any suggestions regarding either handlebar bags or saddle bags?
