Thanks for all of the feedback. I bought a Coleman 2 man tent for my Adventure Cycling Association Big Bend National Park bike tour. It was the wrong tent. Because of the wind and rocky terrain it took 2 or more people to set the tent up and take down. The tent was like a sail on a ship catching the wind at every breeze and gust. I expended too much energy setting up and taking down this tent. I should've bought a free-standing tent that was easier to use. This was my first (maybe last) bike tour and I did not know what I was doing. The route was extremely mountainous and I ride where it is flat. I made most of the 365 miles on the bike but rode in the van several times over some climbs.
