I carry 2 CO2 canisters in my saddle bag with a spare tube, the only time I have had cause to use one so far i messed up and attached the valve adaptor while it was open and let most of the Co2 out, rendering it pretty much useless, hence why I now carry 2. No pump tho, just some tyre levers, Allen keys etc. It is much quicker and easier process than trying to get 80-100 psi into a tyre with a hand pump, less of an issue on an MTB. Worth noting the advice is to replace the Co2 with fresh air when you get hone, although I don't know what the science behind that advice is!
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Sounds reasonable to me as an explanation,

Just completed the Perth City to Surf 12km run in 58mins, off the back of nothing more than a few runs, all less than 6km, and a lot of cycling. Feeling quite pleased with myself, but my calf muscles have gone on strike in protest and the unexpected distance (for them at least)

Great North Ride was great. Must have been 1000 cyclists at the start. After a while the fast guys got ahead and the slow guys dropped back and it was great flying along with others on road bikes on a flattish course.
I normally do about 13-14mph average but did 18mph this time and saved 50 minutes off my best time for 50 miles!Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Chicago was busy today. In addition to the Four Star ride I did there was the Wrigley Field Road Tour (100 miles) and a triathlon that completely ruined the lakefront path with gates and fences for the participants. And it was miserably hot (32 degrees) by noon.

I think riding a fat tired bike with less ratios does actually have an up side of working harder to make distance or pace.
Cooler today and humidity was finally down to the 60% range. Rode to the oceanfront and enjoyed the trip, including being "stuck" behind a very fit roller blader with great legs. Should have gone earlier to enjoy the beach some, would have been a great day to watch the bikinis......errr... waves.
On a serious note... seems like half the bikers and joggers around here exercise to music, and zone out so bad it's almost dangerous to pass them. The ones not listening to music are almost as bad sometimes.

Out of curiosity I bought a new battery for my scale. I was surprised to find out that all this running I've been doing in the last few months is even more efficient than anticipated. I didn't really measured myself before but I estimate I've lost close to 10 kilos in 4 months.. so yeah... for anyone who still has doubts... running WORKS !!!
