Mr. Tib has a single clamp-on bottle-holder because her frame was built in an era before Gatorade. Stage races once depended on spectators & local bars to provide sustenance to cyclists; outright theft was not unheard of. Since I’m out there on back-roads generally alone I must find a way to hydrate short of looting garage refrigerators. Amabo (my other bike) has the traditional 2 carriers but she’s slated for short rides as she’s the Heavy Bike (about 34 pounds). 2 bidons for 62 miles is standard but high humidity causes that to be expected even for 45 miles, creating my curent problem.
A good ride today; hilly & solitary. Still many detours in tornado land but I think I’ve found the new standard Monday route.
