it's 11 sq ft larger.  I don't think that computes to 3 times larger.  It's a nice tent but I don't know many people that have one. there are many other tents that can fit the bill for a hell of a lot less bucks.  Since on a bike you can get away with a heavier tent than an UL backpacker.  Check out campmor, backcountry.com rei etc...   Still a nice tent, just pricey

General Discussion / maps?

I just met a nice guy touring up the coast.  I met him here in Maine, and he had maps with a course laid out and he said he got them from this site??  I did a search here and came up with nothing.  Any thing I am missing?  Thanks

Gear Talk / Shorts question
« on: September 01, 2011, 05:24:34 pm »
Ok all, silly question.  Are all bike shorts synthetic chamois now or do they still make real chamois in them? Old school vs new I guess.

General Discussion / Re: Great Music For My Tour? Suggestions?

As much as I like music, I too agree it is unsafe to ride with headphones.  Sound like my Dad now.  Hendrix.  Machine Gun.  That will get you pumped.

New England / Re: Coast of Maine? Anybody do it?

I want to tour up the coast and stay in campgrounds, but I know it won't be perfect, to say the least.  What do they call that?  Credit card touring?  I'll hit hotels too I guess.

True dat.  Gas scares the poop out of me.  Canisters rock.  Alchy's are slow to boil. Can't stand the wait.  Resturants are nice too.

I searched but nothing came up.  Honestly, I would hit a local aa or na meeting and introduce yourself and pose the question.  They are a very friendly understanding bunch and might be able to help.  They/we  have a huge network of help and friends.  John

now that you mention it, not sure if multi fuels burn alchy or not.  They burn just about everything else.
