I've got a question for Dave (and anyone else who uses their bike as a tie point for rigging their tarp):

From the photo on your blog it looks like you just have your bike upside down, with the lines coming off of one side. Do you do anything further to stabilize or secure the bike? I'd rather not have to carry poles or rely on camping near trees, but I question how well I would sleep in that set up, being fearful that a strong gust of wind would knock over my ride and deliver an eggbeater to the sternum.

Hey All,

I'll be lining up with you folks in Banff and just wanted to say hi (and to have the site alert me of future posts in this thread).  I've been lurking the forum for several months now and have already found it to be one of the best resources out there.  Thanks to everyone who has contributed to TD discussions thus far!
