I've been here for a year now and I don't recall many active threads on it. I don't like to search for old threads and revive them because a lot of forums don't care for that.
Extra pillow?
who brings even one pillow? Rolled up jacket is just as good.
anyways I'm more comfortable with a light setup. Lets me do centuries each day of the tour without feeling rushed or fatigued at all.
