I take my bladder out of my Camelbak Lobo and chuck a water bottle in for quick loops of the Dog. I just don't like wearing a pack on the shorter rides, in fact I don't like them full stop but they are an evil necessity on longer rides, I just love the freedom without them and I can do about 20 miles with one water bottle

Kin ell 20 miles?!?! Are you a camel? the Dog is about 7 miles and one loop of that and my 500ml bottle is empty. 20 milers I'm looking at 2ltrs - minimum.

Hahaha. It's only the local loop, the climbs aren't quite as tough as what they are at the likes of Glentress (Its more long gradual climbs over straight up climbs) so i'm not drinking as much, also it's not that warm at the moment and I think my water bottle is 750-800ml

The tool it's self is £40 :0 the cage was only £12 and I got it from Evans. They come in all different colors, I got the all black one EMT ToolFecks sake! Swinno's are doing hydro packs for £50 - 50% off! got to be better than a bottle cage Gaz! If you can try doing some riding without a pack, it's liberating!

A couple from todays little adventure did you do the full black Euan ? Only up to Hush Hush Kev then I diverted back onto the red. I have to say I enjoyed Britney Spears, the climb after the Goat Track was brutal though. There was still a fair bit of snow and ice at the top too which made the blast down from the mast fairly sketchy.

Aye its tough, the bit after the goat track is "The Admiral" looks like a 45 degree angle looking up it, is that the bit you mean ?

I usually bypass it, i don't really see the point in that section, instead of heading down the trail just keep going up the fire road , it takes you to the top of The Admiral

Yep ...some pic ...I'm impressed by the fact that he is able to sit upright ..I've usually called the air ambulance for oxygen by that point ! As good as it is ...aren't you now " disqualified " from winning? The price of success!
