skinny-
Yeah, I'm not counting grams with this. I went with new stuff because my old bag and old pad were just massive. I'd like to finish and I'd like to minimise hotel use and anything else is a bonus.
If I can lash the sleeping bag and pad to the aerobars it will leave space in my saddle bag for jacket(s) and bivvy. When I did BCM, I didn't have room in the saddle bag for everything when it got warm and I lost the jacket, arm warmers, etc.
I got dry bags and straps so I can try strapping the bag and pad to the aerobars.

I'm probably going to cut up the ensolite pad and use that. It's much lighter than the yoga mat and doesn't need inflating (can't puncture). I also don't really want to buy more shit. I'm bleeding money for this stupid race. I already own an old ThermARest and down bag so I'm doubling up on stuff all the time.
