Tent Camping

[indysteel]

How fun! Brian and I just started buying the things we need for camping. I wish we could join you, but we have a cookout Saturday to attend and we need to start getting ready for our trip to Oregon.

I don't have my CIBA ride list handy. Where are you campingn and what are the ride options? Who's the ride leader?

This isn't a CIBA ride. It is a fundraiser by the Town of Hope to fund their food bank. More information here.

The three longest options are 50, 62, and 100 miles. Would love to go for the 100 mile option - but as 70 is the furthest I've ridden that is probably too much. Or not, will just see how my legs feel but am planning for the metric - I imagine that there will be hills They have bands at all of the rest stop, and they provide a nice breakfast and lunch as well.

Camping is at the high school where the ride starts from - apparently this is the 23rd year that this ride has happened. I like their ride descriptions:

* 13 Mile Li'l Calf Tour
* 25 Miles Riding in the Pasture
* 32 Mile Milk Cow Ramble
* 50 Miles of Dodging Cow Pies
* 64 Mile Mad Cow Metric
* 100 Miles of Bull

Got the tip about the tarp, will have to go back and get one, thanks! At least I don't have to worry about food!

Awesome. I didn't even realize they offered that. Don't forget to bring a camp chair and a towel or two. You might need a flashlight or latern, too. If you need any of that stuff, let me know. You can pick it up and drop it off on your way down there.

You can substitute a piece of heavy weight plastic for the tarp. It weighs less and does just as well!!! Also, you can use Tyvec if you know anyone at a constructions site! Have a great time. I have camped on many bike trips, but the first night is usually not very restful for me. I guess it is the excitement of the event! Have fun and catch up on your sleep after the big day. Wow, I wish I was going!

I am a well seasoned tent camper... both car and rafting. If you need any suggestions on gear or how to do it stuff, fire away.
