Re: [RBW] Yet more travel coffee questions!

On an S24O last year with Anne Paulson, I learned from her of using sweetened condensed milk that comes in plastic bottles with reclosable lids (rather than the tin can style).  Anne said that even without refrigeration, it usually lasts her many days without spoilage. Anne?  Wanna' chime in

Wow! That brings back memories... My mother raced for the Missing Link in 1976.  Being only ten years old at that time, I had no idea that the store was only three years old. I can still picture Mom in her wool Missing Link jersey and leather hairnet helmet. Go Mom!!! cheers, Andrew

I have the 700c x 60mm Berthoud SS fenders on my Bombadil, and they fit well over WTB Nanoraptors and Big Apples.  I admit that they look a bit odd over the BG Rock'NRoad's that I have on the Bombadil now, but I want the flexibility of putting the big tires back on, so I'm not going to adjust
