    That would turn a nice 4hr ride into a day long slog.

    Not sure if you've been over this part of the world, but the mosquitos have pilot licences here. I left my bug net in Australia and opted for the lighter and more convenient head net while zipping up in my bivvy. I didn't get bitten, but they come at the head net like kamikazes and keep you awake all night. I'm extremely reluctant to use the citronella or lavender repellents I brought as apparently these can attract bears and I suspect my head net wouldn't pose much of a barrier to a 400kg Grizzly. I'm going to try Vitamin B1 tonight, failing that I'll buy a bug net and suck up the 100grams weight.

    Yeah man, you've have this thing a long time in the making. Not long now though.

    All the best with your ride mate. I'm assuming your Morgan and Erin friend Gabe in London. I'm in Revelstoke atm and the weather has been perfect this last week and looking good for next week's GD. The snowfall has been light this winter and the locals tell me the high mountain passes are open. Look forward to meeting you in Banff.
