So what's in your bottle?

I just peeked at the bottom of one of my bottles the other day - ugh. Does anybody else run their bottles through the dishwasher? Hot soapy water did not cut it. I put in a pinch of bleach & that got rid of the stains. I have polar bottles - a few years old.

I use the same kind of bleach they use for cleaning baby bottles. Does the job pretty well, although BF & I felt a bit self conscious as we found ourselves in the Baby section of our local supermarket. We joked that we hoped no one spotted us, or we'd be the butt of ' So, when's it due? ' jokes.

Just look at them and smile Hugely and tell them its due when the two of you have enough money to buy next years model!! That outta keep them guessing!

Polar bottles go through the dishwasher beautifully, even the tops.

This is IT. Half a can of Monster Energy, a small scoop of HydroFuel, fill up the bottle and look out world! I blasted through my ride today, up hills, into headwinds, the whole thing. Only had to slow down when my legs were screaming "Get off me!!" Stairs, tomorrow, ought to be really fun (not!). I think I'll do an easy spinning class before work.

You can probably substitute Red Bull for Monster Energy. The best thing was - I didn't get an energy crash. And I'm very sensitive to sugar and caffeine.

Hey all you SF Bay Area and Sacto women- did you know that Cytomax is made in MY HOME TOWN?? That's right lil ol Benicia, CA.

I rode past the factory (smell that stuff cookin' Yum, Yum)twice today. If anyone is around on weekday (generally a Tuesday for me) and wants to come to Benicia (great food and great women cyclists )let me know- We can go directly to the factory and get the stuff at a big discount. Besides, can you imagine a bunch of women cyclists riding up to the front door and invading that male chauv. space? The thought delights my mind!

Go to my name and you'll find all the info about me.

Here in hotter than hello California I like to freeze a bottle of grape gatoraide the night before, by the time I need it on the trail it's perfect! My favorite of all time canned drinks is Adrenaline Rush -tastes great, doesn't drop you like a rock. I've tried almost all of them ( my husband likes to buy them and try them out on me.) The rest taste like barf to me! Anyway just my 2 cents.

Sorry, I've had a rough day......

That's OK Snap... I can't put my favorite(s) in my bike bottle. Or can I?

Can you get a DUI on a bike? Hmmmmm... Never mind. I didn't really just think that.
