Next, I used a Lezyne Micro-Caddy which has a wide strap that goes under the saddle rails. This solved the chafe problem, but I eventually found it easier to pitch the saddle bag and carry the gear in the jersey. Try it sometime.

Rapha has been doing cargo bibs (and NOT bibs) for a couple years. Everyone that tries them loves them. Last week, another guy and I both ended up at the same place for a post-ride beer and sandwich. He was wearing the cargo NOT bibs. He said that he also had the cargo bibs, that they were the best and that he wouldn't buy anything else now. Said that they really came in handy on long rides/races, or when you have a vest/jacket that blocks jersey pocket access, etc.
I'll prolly get a set in the spring.

A few old people, of course, that’s normal, but a whole ship full? Worst cruise ever.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of the saddle bag, but it's not unusual for me to go 80+ miles without stopping - I need pockets for food, phone/wallet, room to stash my vest, etc. Having a saddle bag just means more room for that other stuff and less remember when I head out the door.
Plus, I have a pretty sweet saddle bag (well, roll, technically).

On longer rides, I have a little pump, phone, cleat covers, a food item, and maybe an extra tube. I need my scrote.

Each bike in the rjones28 fleet has it's own custom repair kit attached to the seat. Just grab and go.

Winter is officially just around the corner; Computrainer sessions have begun down at the bike shop. FTP test tonight. Mine rose 13% since the last one back in February.

Cabo outta San Diego boat was kinda too young for my taste. Damn kids.
Jamaica outta Miami was just right.
