And landing on a camelbak when you fall off is preferable to straight on your spine. Camelbak every time*. *I'll occasionally have a quick spin along the old railway/round Guis itself on an evening in which case I'll just take a bottle and take my chances with punctures etc.

Sick of losing bottles!!! Why Bottles on roadie? Terrain not as rough and I know it sounds a bit anorak, but the slight weight in the bottles help lower the centre of gravity (a bit!!) _________________ Heaven kicked me out and Hell was too afraid I'd take over!! Fighting back since 1975!! Happy cycling Denny www.biketraks.com www.c2c.freeforums.org/ www.mtbnortheast.ning.com
