Hi everyone!
I am trying to put together my shopping list of "stuff" I am going to need to ride the Tour deKota in June.

We are allowed two "medium sized bags".

I've been able to find some great info on this site about what to carry on the bike each day... I have an expandable wedge bag under my seat for tubes, tools, patch kit, CO2 pump, cartridges, etc. My shopping list to buy yet, includes a road morph pump and either a bento box or a handlebar bag, I haven't decided yet...

Clothing? I'm planning a jersey and shorts for each day. What else should I plan on bringing for on the bike and in camp?

Then what about camping? I don't have any decent camping stuff anymore, (we have a 5th wheel and haven't seriously tent camped since Boundary Waters trips back before kids!) I'm looking at a couple of Eureka tents, Pinnacle Pass 2XTA or a Backcountry 2. Are they decent or should I fork out a few more bucks for something else?
Sleeping pad? I keep hearing about thermarest pads but there are a ton of different models; is there one that you would recommend?
Sleeping bag? Do I need to get a spendy Mummy one, or will one of the cheap rectangular ones we already have work as well?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me...my husband says I'm obsessing about this, but really I'm just super excited!!!
