You sir, have awesome weekends.
can't beat that last comment so I'll just secont it. :)
Bet that Karate Monkey handles awesome on the back roads.
BTW, I'm very interested in your tent. It looks light and practical... spacious. I've seen them used alot for alpine but I'm wondering how they work in mosquito land?
Hey Michael! My tent is a GoLite Hex 3, now redesigns and renamed something else. I have a floor with full bug screen that I can use with this tent if I need to. I think the tent with nest (floor and screen) is 5 pounds total and just a hair over 2 pounds with just the tent as in my photos.
And yeah... the Monkey is a great all-rounder.
Thanks to you both for the comments!

I assume the screen portion is a completely enclosed and sealed screen room with floor and zippers?
Great for winter or other non-bug trips no matter wether solo or multiple.
Though it looks like a very flexible tent for two or more people year round it looks a bit to big really for lightweight soloing the rest of the year.
In addition to the weight I imagine it packs up a bit bulky?
Hey Joe, How do you like those handlebars? I've been thinking about trying a pair, but haven't talked to anyone who has used them.
Mook... I just rode RAGBRAI with these and I had zero hand pain. I even rode 108 miles Thursday. I rode fully loaded, self contained all week. About 500 miles total. For gloves, I wear Mechanix work gloves... no padding. I LOVE these bars!
