We both made it back alive (I think the missus had one little tumble) and there were some lovely scenes out there. The camping worked pretty well (although we need to pull the rain fly a bit further away from the inner).
I rode the same saddle in Badlands but it seemed very uncomfortable during this. I was wearing MTB 3/4 shorts so perhaps there's a seam interface that doesn't like the Adamo saddle. Think I'll try swapping to a normal saddle - it'll make sliding back for steeper stuff easier as well.
Need long finger gloves - I wore a hole in my thumb from how I hold the shifters so will ditch the mitts for mtb gloves.
Could do with a bigger drybag for the tent - the 2L one is a bit hard to pack once the tent is wet.
Wearing my old Etnies probably wasn't a good idea. I want my Five Tens. Dropped my saddle during the ride. That needs a look. Blah blah... if only I could stop treating every ride like a TT that needs every aspect improved...
