    I'm back (mostly) :P

    Work has been super busy over the last several weeks, plus interruptions from my personal life, I just haven't been on. However, I'm back. Hopefully I'll have more time now to post more often.

    Unfortunately, due to being busy and especially due to having to lug around a 8 pound notebook for work, I haven't been cycling much. Need to get back into the groove.

    Hopefully, you've been getting in a good upperbody workout with that notebook. 8 lbs! Did it come with wheels?

    Unfortunately no. But it could *really* use it.

    I wonder if I should buy a bike stroller and put it in there.

    That's why God (or Riv) invented the Hoss Saddlebag. Your notebook would fit in it.

    Ooooh. Do you need bosses on the bike to mount that? Since my bike is a road bike, I don't have any bosses to mount such things.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    hey! that would hold my rifle, my dog and a 10 course meal. i could ditch the rifle rack...

    alas, i have a carbon fiber seatpost. it'd probably snap if i carried that bag close to my sweet Epesi.
    no regrets!

    Um, Spazz, I'm not sure you want to carry your dog and a 10-course meal in the bag, unless, of course, the meal is meant for the dog.

    Ditching the rifle rack sounds like a good idea, though. Mine always develops this nasty wobble on the road...
    Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

    That's my beloved Fluffy underneath that saddlebag! I had to get a bag big enough for my Social Studies textbook. Yes, I ride with that bag every day to work. It's been up Diablo a few times - especially in the winter when I want lots of clothes available.

    CM, I missed y'all too! </texan> Oh wait, I'm from Texas. You can't pull the Texan out of me.

    Veronica, how does that attach? Is it attached only at the seat?

    I went and looked for it online, but the company who sells it is out of stock. Phooey!
