Because 24,000m of climbing with my sleep kit vs. without my sleep kit. The less shit I can take the more fun the actual riding is. But then I'm not planning to race this so I was thinking: wake up for sunrise in the mountains, ride until dark, sleep. Hotel bed and showers are nice if it's hot and I'm caked in salt, etc. but it's also only 950k so less than a week's riding. Bivvy does give more options though.

Why decide now?
I usually decide to bivvy when I haven't found a hotel during my time window of looking for one. I suppose you might decide to hotel every night and not take sleeping kit. But it's great sleeping out in the mountains when it's not too cold
