I'm going to be taking my bike (and the blender) on GITAP
which is a week-long tour of ILlinois.

Last year I bought a nice tent and borrowed everything else. This year I want to buy a nice sleeping bag, maybe a pad. Will I regret getting, say, a "20 degree" sleeping bag? Last year was fine with a really light one but the weather was perfect. I think the tent also does a good job of keeping heat in when it's closed up, too.

(Last year I joked about finding a "carbon fiber man" and riding off into the sunset... welp, I did end up with a pretty good song after finding out just how *hard* an aluminum frame with underinflated tires moving at 13 mph can be, about a carbon fiber frame... my legs can't wait to straddle that carbon fiber saddle and ride that baby all day long... )
