hi everyone.

i'm looking for some advice on which tent i should be looking to buy for a cycle touring trip from the uk to egypt (starting in september). i'm sure this is a question that's been asked many times before and i anticipate to be traveling approximately 4500 miles so i guess the lighter the better. however i was wandering whether people tend to opt for a tent with a large porch area for bike storage and peace of mind over night or whether they leave bikes (to their fate) outside overnight. i will be mostly traveling by myself but expect to be joined by friends for certain stages. i'm considering a terra nova laserlarge 3 which comes in at around 2.3kg and has ample storage for a bike - but is this just too heavy? any suggestions much appreciated :D
