No trip to Denver would be complete without a visit to the best outdoor store anywhere, Denver REI. I had a $5.00 rebate burning a hole in my pocket - and being the model customer, I spent $500 and saved 1% with my rebate.
But I did get a couple of equipment upgrades for the trip. I grabbed a new tent - the Marmot Pulsar 1P and the matching 'footprint'. I mainly wanted it because the fly has an area that will allow me to get my clothes bag out of the elements. I got the added bonus of their 'free standing design' - it allows for more headroom, and you can also pick up the tent once erected and position it the way you want it.
I will have at least 2 tents for sale when I get home.
I also bought my first pair of bib shorts. The reviews point a lot of pros and few cons, so I thought I would give them a try... more on that when I actually try them. Always looking for ways to have a more comfy butt.
