CAMPING!!!!!!

...sorry...I got excited there...

I'm in the market for buying a new bicycle camping tent, ideally 3 person to comfortably hold 2 people. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm going to try to watch monsters of midway and make it up as well. I may just go watch one race and then head up.  if someone wants to go a little later I'd love a riding buddy.  I'd prefer not to ride loaded down to Hyde Park so meeting northside would be better.

when ya get to the three person tents, the weight starts adding up. ive got a 2 man that does infact two nicely, the northface tadpole 23. its pretty light, the newer models are even lighter.

Shucks, can't go. I'll be flying home from Cleveland that morning. 

FYI, the UP-NW is pretty strict about bikes.   Its not like the MD-W.  Might want to take in consideration that there may already be two or three bikes on board from downtown.  

Def. Maybe with a +1 too.

If anyone needs another route alternative, rode this way last year. Very calm route overall. The cross on the map is the LaGrange General Store and bike shop that you got to stop at, great beer and food.
