Yeah, on the same wavelength.
I think I know what I'd want. People keep talking about weight and yes it's important as it will make a difference. But less so than making sure your body is running as well as it can. Mike hall has never been one to pack super light. I believe his words were not the lightest but competitive.

Adrian O was the bloke I met on the Beast 600 test ride. Nice guy. I'll be stalking his dot during this and now I'm keen to see how this Aussie goes too.

Mike Hall's dots-to-watch for TransAm: http://normallyaspiratedhuman.com/?p=1482
Enjoyed watching the Highland Trail dots last week and while I don't think this will necessarily get the same commentary, should still be good to follow!
@skinny my comment was more about the sleeping kit/clothing, ignoring the bike and risky-sounding-but-no-doubt-tested... ultralight carbon stuff. I don't think the cuben eVent jacket/emergency bivvy etc. are any more/less expensive than than any other "lightweight" options but I think carrying 200g more and have something considerably more breathable would cope better and be a whole lot more comfortable...!
