You hurt me Trek420... I've never sneered. I'm usually saying "Hey, could ya carry my..."

I think I probably fall into the worst camp. I carry very little at all then end up borrowing stuff off the Kitchen Sinkers. Where would we be without you?

I'm with Spazz and Mighty; a minimalist. Heck, I don't even like to carry a purse. I just date men with large pockets! Cargo pants for men are a great thing ("here honey, will you carry this lipstick, and uhm, my cell phone ?").

D'oh! That one only works when I'm dressed to the nines! My husband is pretty accommodating most times, but must get seriously annoyed by the stuff I try to make him carry around!

When mountain biking, my pack is huge! love the tip on the duct tape....never had figured out how to pack just a little of that stuff...the co2 inflater, several types of tools, two water bladders (one for water, one for watered down gator aid), clothes if the weather requires it, ID, care card, cell phone, money if it's wednesday ride that ends at the bar, toilet paper, handi wipes, ibuprofen, hydroxycut, calcium, business cards, sunscreen (when I remember), bug dope (when I remember), and, hmmmm, I guess lipstick. I'll have to go looking for that revlon type that v suggested. sounds like a great plan! Oh, did I mention food? and, of course, the zip ties! heehee

we got back down to -16 c today. and fresh snow. thank goodness for kickboxing or I'd be such a slug by now!

namaste,

After riding Harleys for so long - I don't wear any jewelry or make-up. I don't even wear make-up when Not on the bikes - either one! I'm the one that after a long ride on the Harley - I stopped at a fabric store in my long duster and chaps with the filthy dirty face and wind-blown hair, and the women were pulling their children out of my path as I walked through the store! I ride alone all the time so I guess I just don't think about how I might look! lol Maybe I could stay married if I gave it more thought! (NOT!)

Not sure what it says about my mental state, but I'm a minimalist on the road (though pump and tube are required) and I'm a kitchen-sink type on dirt: tube in baby powder, duct tape, zip ties, tools, etc., plus compass, highlighter (for maps),Vitamin I, space blanket, medical kit with coban, contact lens drops and bandana. I think I've even carried Technu just in case. I've never gotten poison oak but 2 of the guys I ride with (one being the DH) get it just by getting out of the car.

Tube, mini tool, speed lever, car keyless entry beeper, sunscreen, and vitamin I. (All hail vitamin I!) Snacks can be fig newtons, trail mix, mojo bars, smuckers uncrustables - peanut butter and jelly.

Did anyone else just have a "Raising Arizona" flashback???
