If I need someone to rescue us, I have several options. It wouldn't take more than an hour drive depending on who came to pick us up. One of the advantages of riding close to home! My saddle feels fine even after 15 miles, but my handle bars were the issue, which I hope to have figured out after the last adjustment. The lady has issues with her saddle after a few miles, so I have a feeling I'll be adjusting a few times along the way.
As far as getting the tent ready to camp, is there any conditioning needed? The only suggestion I've had so far is to get some seam sealant. I've been using a cheapo coleman tent for the last several years and never did anything special to it. My parents always scotchguarded their tents when I was younger.
