Thanks for the tip Ben, I'm gonna pick up some of those hand and foot warmers.
Camper, I have a high lift on my tire carrier that anyone is more than welcome to use when needed. Leave yours at home if it's killing your packing. Throw some extra blankets in there instead
And someone mentioned pulling to the side of the trail; there will be a lot of stop and go, but still enough riding to see the whole place. There will be plenty of opportunities to grab the video camera and watch some of the big guys do some crazy crawling.
Can't wait guys!
