Yep. It's easier to stay hydrated than bottles on the mountain bike and makes the roadies around here yell 'get a mountain bike' when I'm on the road (I have 3-how many more do they want me to have??? 'Course, I am thinking about a Blur...). It also seems to mess with the dude roadie heads when an oldish chick in mountain bike gear on a middle-end Raleigh road bike passes them.
It carries all my junk and my plain water and I can easily tie a jacket onto it on those too warm/not warm enough days. When I crash sometimes it takes some of the blows.
I ususally ride between 2 and 6 hours (saturday I did a century-yay me!) so having it plus 2 bottles of a light gatorade mix is good.

What is your all-time absolute most favoritest trail (or road) ever (and location) and why?
