Well, yeah, it seems obvious but I was going to try a primarily bivvy race to save time with checkin/checkout at hotels. If I don't sleep properly though, there's not much point using a bivvy.
Also a faff looking for bivvy spots, getting shot by Americans, setting up and pulling it down and the kit I'm testing here isn't going to work in the US anyway since it's way hotter there.
So, I'm going to hotel/motel it and use the bivvy when I need quicker naps.
I bought a lightweight 3/4 sleep pad which was nice but having used it I want a full sized one as my legs did get very cold. Perhaps I would've been more comfortable looking for more grassy spots, they'd probably have been warmer and softer but I tend to prefer 'urban bivvy' since they will have a roof.
