Only if spazzdog is willing to design them :cool:
Yea, "Team WTF????" would make an interesting jersey :-) (And, btw, Geonz is pronounced "Jones")

Unless we want to have our team name emblazoned on the seats of our shorts?

See Knotted, red-faced and panting, pull a u-ee and head for the nearest outdoor bar-n-grill to get her glass filled.
Agua Verde run on the Burke Gilman, any of you Seattle-ites?
I ride with a honkin' big pannier (left one) all the time. Today I rode farther than I expected. Emptied my bottle. No prob, got another one in the pannier! Hungry? Banana, Lara bar, Payday, Clif blox, Clif shot, walnuts in the pannier! Front fender had a nervous breakdown. Whaddaya know, I have a Leatherman and Park Tool I-beam in... the pannier! And once I got the whole thing off I stuck it in the pannier! Starting to rain? Rain gear in the pannier.
And pump, tube, hankie, sunscreen, lip balm, ouch-pouch, etc.
I also have a bungee cord wrapped around my rack. Just in case. I'm a belt-n-suspenders kind of gal!
(hey, I might need to carry a 12 pack of beer, too!):p
Quillfred "Where's the blender???: eek:"
jobob's probably got one in that bag.
Tease people with extra storage on the bike all you want but there will be a day you need _____ and they will have an extra _____. Like on Diablo when I needed full finger gloves (yes, yes, shoulda read the post).
Who's looking weird from behind then?
just thought I'd throw in my .02 as I really like my handlebar bag. Its pretty sleek (as handlebar bags go) but I can carry an extra water bottle my camera, my gu etc. and it does become a fanny pack if you wanted to take if off. Here's a picture (ignore the goober rider :rolleyes: )
I do also have a bag under my seat as well. I normally ride by myself and just feel more secure having more 'stuff' with me I guess.
Good luck w/your search!
Tracy
I'd wondered about that -- only one? Does it not cause probs to have weight on one side and not both?Quote:

It does pretty well holding stuff! When I went on a long ride recently I had a crystal Geyser water (I always feel better having that extra water - I guess I need to get another holder somewhere!), about 5 gu's and my camera, plus a few other odds and ends and it all fit fine. Its a topeak. I saw it on Caligurl's bike and really liked it because it wasn't very bulky. It also stands out from the bars a bit so I can still have my computer etc attached to my bars w/no interference. So far, I've been really pleased w/it.
btw, that basket for the back of the bike is really cute! If you get it, I'd love to see a picture on your bike!
Tracy
That looks great, Tracy. I really like it.
My basket should arrive tomorrow, and I'll see how it works and take a pic!
Somewhere I saw a net that fits over the top of the basket to keep things from bouncing out -- but now I can't remember where I saw it! I guess I'll run across it again, and if I'm having that prob I'll order it.
LOL - having travelled a few miles behind you I can honestly say you dont qualify for Team Looks Weird From Behind - you just look like a well prepared cyclist and I think thats a GOOD THING.:)Quote:

Still haven't done margaritas yet. Need a recipe and the right place and time :-) Need to tweak the details on washing too... Mainly I need to make a "blender kit" so I can get things going efficiently and easily. Didn't want to carry a cooler and ice up that 15% grade, either, tho' since I went as a volunteer and my car was the "refreshment stop" vehicle I might have been able to coordinate cold ingredients...
