I'm hoping I can get on the bike and otherwise work out in another 2 to 3 months. I still have another 3 or 4 weeks of PT, at least. You guys will be way ahead by then but I will try to keep up.
Cool. I have a 20% off coupon but not good for Big Agnes. I will check out the Veda.
It needs 4 trekking poles which is fine when I'm not alone. i have 2 pairs of trekking poles so can always carry extra pair if I go out alone, which will not be the norm. May pick up a pair of folding poles.
