• A Splash of Gatorade

    9 de junio, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    Needing hydration, we stopped at a convenience store. We met Stefan Knopf and his companions resting there on their way to the rally.
    I pulled my hydration bladder with the hose and bite valve out of the big Aerostich pocket and filled it with Gatorade. I zipped up the pocket and dropped the suit over the bike's saddle. Gatorade splashed out of the hose all over the bike and Aerostich suit.

    The culprit was a damaged bite valve. Apparently, a rodent ate half of the valve while it was stored on my garage shelf. Time to buy a new bite valve and some mousetraps.
