@@mswarrior932 this month feels like it's 2 years long . To far out to even check the weather. I'm working and watching KZbin tutorials right now . I need to learn how to go live for one .to tell the truth I'm also looking for art I might attempt along the way . Maybe a fantasy story 🤔 maybe stop motions., or Water coloring . Desperately looking for that thing that is other than the people I meet . There is a really good chance that I won't meet anyone at all . The motorized bicycle is a 1% er type of thing . Peddle purist don't like it at all (cheating). And i can't keep up with motorcycles . It really attracts homeless people though. Ok trying to be prepared to make the best out of the trip. It will be 2 years before I can get another kitchen pass.

Nice ride guys and some great views :)

[@TheOutsidePerks]

The Oregon Coast is terrific. Thank you for commenting!

@@TheOutsidePerks I hope to get out there myself next year if Covid finally gets under control. In the meantime, I'm making videos and touring here in Thailand. Take care and ride safe. JP

I am starting to use a Tarvac (extremely puncture resistant) ground cover, to prevent sleeping pad punctures.

[@TheOutsidePerks]

Amazingly enough, Nemo has a great warranty and sent me a brand new pad, a newer version. Turned out my old Neno was leaking at the valve and was not repairable. A good ground cover is money well spent to protect the tent floor and pad.

What is your opinion on the arkel handle bar bag you are using. I am trying to decide on the arkel 10 liter or the ortlieb 7 liter

[@TheOutsidePerks]

I've had my small size Arkel handlebar bag since 2015. It's a bit heavy but well built and I preferred the mounting system over the Ortlieb design. It's been solid and I've put it through the paces. Note: It's not truly waterproof with out the extra cover.

[@pedalingthru2719]

@@TheOutsidePerks the mounting system is what has me leaning toward the arkel. I use Jones h bars and I really can't see a way to mount the ortlieb bag on them because from what I see the cable has to drop under the stem to get a solid mount that won't slowly slip down. If I am wrong please correct me . I am trying to prevent a $150.00 mistake. Thanks for your time and info.
