Just to put one more out there…I have a Camelbak Blowfish. It holds 3L (100oz) of water and has an expandable storage compartment. It has 720 cu. in. or 990 cu. in. depending on whether it is expanded. It doesn’t look quite as cool as the M.U.L.E. because it doesn’t have as many little compartments on the outside, but it is cheaper and holds more stuff.
I like mine so far.
I dabble.
Santa brought me a Camelbak Blowfish…which I went to REI and bought myself.
I wrecked the other day and my bike got stuck in a tree. The other day I was riding a local trail backwards so all of the obstacles were a little more difficult than I was used to. I came up to a pretty big log laying across the trail and decided to try to hop over it. I popped the front tire over, but apparently didn’t have enough speed to get the back tire over. The front tire stuck right into the ground and the back tire got hung up on the log. I knew I was done at this point. I couldn’t stop myself from moving forward and veering off to the side towards a ditch about 3 feet deep. There was a tree laying across the ditch and I knew I was going right for it. I managed to jump off the bike and over the tree, but my bike didn’t quite make it. I landed with a thud down in the ditch (in a patch of poison ivy no less) and my bike got stuck in the tree. It was just hanging there like I put it there on purpose. I only got a couple scratches and bruises (and poison ivy the next day), but I was ok other than that. I will post a picture if I can figure out how.
If you’re in Greensboro I would suggest stringing together some combination of Owls Roost, Wild Turkey, Country Park, and the Big and Little loops. They are all very close to each other and you can get from one to the next and barely have to come off the greenway.
Thanks for the feedback. Should I look for anything in particular in a shoe (other than comfort, style, etc.) that would affect my ability to get on and off the pedal?
Thanks again.
