Dear CrazyCanuck,

One time when I was training for my first "real" triathlon (first and only, so far, not counting the super-sprint kids tri I did a year ago) I wore my swimsuit to swim, first, and drove to this really cool bike trail, and found out I forgot my bike shorts. So I had to ride in rolled up knit crop pants. I had a hard time deciding if I would look weirder with my bike jersey or my swimsuit...

So now I have a small bag with a spare everything in it in my truck- stuff that I don't miss, like my least favorite jersey and shorts and socks and shoes and swimsuit and a little towel.

And I just store almost all my bike gear in that Mountainsmith Modular Hauler thing in my truck, but I realize probably most people don't have enough room for that.
