potty break?

[oxysback]

Ha, ha, ha. Suzie and Ellen should read this thread. They are two other TE members.

We did a 72-miler on Saturday and for some reason it was hard to find the porta potties on that ride. It seemed like we spent miles and miles swiveling our heads looking for the porta potties. We finally found one, and Ellen went in it and it tipped over. I don't think Ellen thought it was funny, but I did.

Man...seemed like we passed 5 or 6 porta-potties (either WAAAAY out in the field or on private property) before we found the 'tipsy' one! Just for the record...it was on a little trailer, and the trailer tipped. So it's not like I dumped the thing!

What Darcy didn't say was that the next one we found (sparkling clean!) came with a Doberman who looked like he took his guard duty job seriously. So on we went until we got to this gas station/drive-thru coffee shop. Score!! And I walked around and it was LOCKED with a padlock! Then someone pointed me to one across the parking lot. SHEW!! I thought I was gonna pee my pants!

Sometimes I can get through a 2 hour ride without a potty break. Yet other times, like yesterday, it's non-stop. We rode about 2 1/2 hours. I peed twice during the ride and had to go SO bad during our last 45 minutes home!!! What's THAT all about?!

I'm lucky that most my routes have bathroom options available, whether porta potties or gas stations. Once I tried to go at a camp site, but the bathrooms were locked, so I squatted behind them instead.

You gotta do what you gotta do! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one around here peeing all the time!

I dont think the peeing is the problem, just go if you have to there is always somewhere, jump a hedge if you need,
I always seem to choose the time to go when a car, runner or walkers come by.
For me it would be a nightmare if there was no loo to be seen and i needed the "other"
I dont understand how anyone could use a porta pottie they are sooooooooo disgusting, would rather dig a hole. At least its just your own "stuff"

so ...
always have in your seatpack.......
tissues, hand wipes, trowel, large brown paper bag to cover your eyes so no one can see you as you squat (ostrich)

happy squatting
