So yesterday, I went for a short 12 mile ride around the neighborhood, and didn't take my camelback. I did put a bottle of water in the cage on my bike just in case. It was nice to feel the wind roll down my back free of a pack, but it was one of the hottest days we've had yet this year, and I got thirsty quickly. The cage is kind of new and I don't know if they need to be "loosened up" or whatever, but it's really difficult to get a bottle in and out of it when I'm not on it...and I was very concerned about my ability to balance on the bike while in motion and yank the thing out to drink from it. I am pleased to report, however, that I successfully removed the bottle and put it back not once but twice. Baby steps, people, baby steps.
