Good luck @hippy
When you heading out?My friend Morgan is riding up from SF at the moment, be sure to say Hi and have a beer with him if you get a chance.
He's the guy with the huge ginger wizard beard and a single front tooth. He'll probably be wearing Broakland kit too.
Here he is firing a big rifle on Tour Divide

I wanted to do this, but didn't have the balls. Who's is it?

I couldn't get out of work for this. :( I'm riding TCR this year though to make up for it.

Bike ribbon- it makes a massive difference, totally kills road buzz when combined with lizard skin 3.2 tape

I was replying to the son laced to the zipp.
But will look into bar tape. I doubled up my lizard on the hoods, so worth a look! Good info :)
Also, only issue with gel, is it can disintegrate in the heat. Don't ask me how I know. But be careful.

Who are you on Trackleaders? Good luck anyway :D

Looks nice, if a little heavy on the back end (ooh nurse!). Got a pack list?

Say hi to Wayne Kurtz. He won't be FOP, but has completed triple deca ironman, so is much nails.

Yeah it's space mostly taken up by my arctic issue sleeping bag. Currently it's high 20's degrees C, but will be needed in Colarado, and even if it's not it's comforting to know that I won't freeze to death. I'll jetison it at the half way point. My pack list is fluid right up time 4pm GMT tomorrow! I'm A Stevens Cox on track leaders.

I won't freeze to death
My main issue trying to bivvy over here so far. How's your bivvy vibe been?
I can already picture the burgers and pancakes. Jealous.

I'm still in 5 star hotel luxury but the Rab alpine bivvy is the schizzle, hopefully rattle snake proof too.

Snakes don't like you, they won't try to find you. If you find them, move elsewhere.

Oh and good luck!
