Biking (Bikepacking day 2) 2:01:38 [4] 21.7 mi (10.7 mph) +1427ft
ahr:116 max:160 rhr:49 shoes: Trek Xcaliber
Legs felt good. Scenic route which felt like way more climbing (but, according to my garmin, wasn't.)
Didn't use: puffy jacket, rain jacket, tights. Probably would have been fine with my light sleeping bag instead of the 32* bag I brought, but in a choice between summer weight and 32* bag with a forecast low of 55 I opted for the safer choice. After all, extra weight is just more work for my legs. :) We had car support since Lori and A were meeting us at camp, but I tried to carry everything I'd need to take without support.
I made it in the bivvy for about 4.5 hours and really didn't like it. At 2:30 am I got my tent out of the Jeep and set it up. I'd originally packed it on my bike and unless I can figure out setting up the bivvy better the tent is definitely worth the extra weight.
Really a fun trip.
