With the WCR being 3 months away. I am getting prepped for the 1800 mile trip. I will be tenting for the first time and new gear has been ordered. I hope that my choices work out well. I also ordered a personalized TAG for the bike and a FJ shirt that I had made.

Fred,

A closed-cell foam pad (yoga pad) underneath will prevent most pinholes in the air mattress, and it will be warmer.   :yes:   D.A.M.H.I.K.  Pack the rolled foam in a small long duffel bag, and fill the hollow roll with other stuff, like the sleeping bag and/or the tent.

Best wishes.
Cheers,
Red
P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
