Cycling toys
The weather in Canberra is improving, so I’m running out of excuses to not be on my bike. To give me added incentive, I’m spending hard-earned money on cycling “stuff”!
There is a planned purchase of a new mountain bike coming up - exciting stuff - stay tuned!
In the meantime, I’ve bought a CamelBak - for those who don’t know these are backpacks, typically designed with cyclists in mind that also include a water reservoir, with a drinking tube. I’ve taken it on one short ride, and wow! So much better than your standard drink bottle - you can hold heaps more for a start, but more importantly, you can grab a drink whenever, even when powering up a steep hill, picking your way between gravel, rocks and loose sand.
With a waterbottle, you’d be stuck waiting till you got to an “easy bit” at the top before you could slake your thirst, plus your water bottle would have that tasty flavour of dust
