I also looked up when Caitlyn Jenner won the Gold for it - 1976. Boy, does that make me feel old.

I bought a Rockrider (Decathlon) brand hydration pack, 2L. The part that sits against the back looks like it moves air well. Vamos a ver. The biggest they had. And an insulated bottle just because I was there and it was too. Yesterday I bought a spare tube, and the HPX3 works fine as a pump, though it may be difficult to carry. I am now ready to hit the dusty trails. In earnest after Bob leaves toward the end of the month.
What pump do you have, Big John?

There's a chance one of the guys might want it. An industrious young man might be able to fix it with $200 in parts from the U-Pull-It and a weekend of work.

A sporting goods store. It’s really nice to have a brick and mortar alternative.

What a magnificent event. Traveled just 45 miles to a buddy's house who had a telescope and camera setup. The weather was better than expected so we got a bunch of great, memorable shots. Couldn't get 100% but 97% was better than I expected.

Another Tuesday, another 40+ mile ride. Pretty windy but I did sit on a friend's wheel for a good part of the headwind, which was nice. Was another friend's birthday lunch after so, of course, I ate way too much pizza.
