Reply To: Sleeping bag or blanket

Having just finished another ride across a state, including a charter service and air mattress…I’m still debating on what to bring to Ragbrai.  For BAK, I took a fitted sheet.  Daytime highs were over 100 degrees.  Nightime lows, however, varied from 62 to 76.  Anything below 70, I froze.  No joke.  Anything above 70, I slept on top of the covers.  Apparently, the human body sucks at regulating night time heat.  The temps (according to Accuweather) are projected to be 97 degrees on Saturday and Sunday with lows around 73.  We’ll have to keep watching.  I WILL be taking tights and a light long-sleeve shirt again.  I slipped them on at BAK and they sort of helped a little, but a fleece blanket would have been better.
