Mine is a frame in a bag still. Need to find a DT Swiss hub.
Slept in a bivvy on Sat, no bag, no pad. It got down to 0. I was cold, very, very, very fucking cold.

LOL. Need some more insulation.
Or a hotel. -

Sounds like a pretty clear result from that test!
I left the HQ after finishing on Saturday and the sun was just going down. It was a lot colder than when I'd finished riding half an hour before.

FARK, I avoided going camping on Saturday as it looked nippy (fine for us, less so for a dog with no bag and 1% body fat). You miserable bugger.

Starting to come together, bike is finished bar a few minor set up issues, so will ironing these out over the next 5 weeks. Next up is sorting out a bike box and bike luggage. I'm not going to use my Alpkit Koala, the Apidura looks better, with more features (cargo net, rear light holder, sits up better on the bike- so more stable). Also going for a decent down sleeping bag, Colarado will be cold and I know from the Spine race that when I'm tired it's harder to regulate temperature. Having the comfort of being nice and toasty will be a big psychological boost.
