Thanks for the recipes, and your variations, Eric!! I'll report back when I make them :) I have Art of Simple Food but I haven't looked at it in years. I love AeroPress too. On Sunday, November 20, 2022 at 11:25:09 AM UTC-5 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks, Jim! A friend asked for the packing

Excellent ride report, as always Eric! I appreciate the little details you choose to include. As a fellow swoopy hillibike rider, I am curious a bit about your companion’s setup on his Susie and his experience. Maybe you can convince him to share his perspective too. It would be really cool to

Eric, thanks for the report. It was nicely structured and written with such gentle thoughtfulness. Thanks also for sharing your packing list in so much detail. I wonder if there have ever been recipe exchange threads on this forum: what to prepare to eat when you’re taking a ride on your Rivendell

Thanks, brizbarn. Overpacking is my strong suit regardless of where I'm going or for how long! I haven't been tested in a laboratory setting but I think I'm sweat at an unusually high rate. Has always been true of me. I was definitely quite thirsty at the end of the day and would have

It's always easy to overpack, or at least feel like you did when you're pedaling up a hill. I wouldn't say your pack list is overly excessive tho, it looks like everything fit in your bags just fine, which is a plus. I'm tend to overflow my bags which are slightly smaller than yours on
