....And Jesus said "Let the water be cold as hell!"

I just got back from a 5 hour gravel-grinder on my Giant XTC Alum/Carbon hardtail. The wind was a little brisk, but the worst part was the fact that the County DOT just dumped 3 inches of fresh gravel on every single mile of gravel road from here to the Minnesota border. It was nothing but mashing on the pedals for the duration of the ride. I am sure my legs will be screaming in the morning.

Anyway, I want to use this blog to pimp one of the sponsors for Cateye Enduro. Our hydration pack sponsor is Polar Pak.

www.polarpak.com

Yes, they make hydration packs just like the other brands, but.....
the cool thing is that the bladder is filled with a gel which can be froze in the freezer or heated up. So, if you want cold water, freeze the bladder over night. Get it out for you ride and throw it in the pack, and off you go. I did a 4 hour ride in 90 degree weather about a week ago, and the water stayed chilled the entire duration. I have used Camelbacks and Hydrapacks before getting hooked up with Polar Pak. Hands down, I would pick the Polar Pak over the other companies. Check out their website. They make all kinds of different packs based on riding style and activitiy.

The other day I did my part to take slow the corporate take over of the world by Wal-Mart. I don't know if it's just in the Midwest, but it seems like every town has one of these places. Anyway, I had a coffee maker that was brewing slow....as in like 3 hours slow. I tried all the tricks to fix it....vinegar, cleaning solution, etc. Well I went to Sprawl-Mart, I mean Wal-mart and bought the same coffee maker. When I got home, I just cleaned up my old one and stuck it in the box, and took it right back. Presto! Hot coffee fast, and it didn't cost me anything! DOWN WITH WAL-MART!!!!!

That's about all for now. If I come up with anything else before i crash, I am sure I will post it here.
