"First of all, a better sleeping bag, or bivvy or something. That LaFuma bag was awful. It was wet, it was drafty, and it was overall just shit. This low end bag held me back the most, because when I would lay down for 5 hours, I wouldn’t get 5 solid hours of sleep, I’d get 5 hours of restless sleep and that would require me to sleep longer the next night and made me ride worse. This is certainly something that I would need to remedy.
An attempt at fixing the cold problem, a $40, 5.5 oz SOL Escape Lite bivvy. It will replace my bag for East Coast summer touring and pad my bag in the West. (Crap phone pic 1)"
