I just had to... 8) Mick Mars is freaking scary looking.

Ooops, back to Danville. It's going to be scorching (sure beats racing an almost two hour bike race) and I'm thinking about finally getting a sprayer for the V710's. Silly question, is there any advantage in putting ice in it so it cools the tires quicker? Maybe I'm over thinking it, because I'm good at that. :wink:

Continuing to beat the dead horse...

Don't feel like paying up for Gatorade? This is a good at-home approximation for fraction of the cost (a little higher Potassium concentration, but unless you've got renal disease it's probably OK)

Morton's Lite Salt has 300mg Na and 375 mg K per 1/4 tsp
Morton's Table Salt has 575mg Na per 1/4 tsp
Table sugar is 15 cal per level tsp

To mimic (nearly) Gatorade:
1/2 tsp Morton's Lite
1/2 tsp Morton's Table Salt
1/3c table sugar (16level tsp)

Mix into 1 gal water, add unsweetened Kool-Aid of your choice flavor. Or, readjust the sugar content added after accounting for the sugar in regular Kool Aid, Countrytime lemonade etc

This gives you about 109mg sodium, 45 mg potassium and 15g carbs per 8 oz. Gatorade (not G2) is 110/30/14. G2 has 5g carbs per 8oz, so adjust accordingly.

It's not the only way to do it, but thought it'd be helpful...

I have no one to blame buy myself I suppose. That picture was taken with my own camera. :roll:

I'm driving the bus. I had had planned to delivery it to Pet's Companion.

Oh, BTW, Gwen/Bernie can I leave the bus at Pet's Companion?

Hey, can you mount the camera a little bit lower next time?

Sorry, no such luck. The tire didn't fall.

Art: I'm glad I mounted it up that high because any lower and I would have been hitting cones with it.

Yes, but the last image the camera captured would have been awesome!
