* and that means i'm home. sick. bummer... last week i was feeling great, and managed four 150 km rides... the thing is, there's this in between phase of the seasons, when everybody seems to get sick for some reason, and being a full time job rider doesn't help my immune system... so i got to stay at home for the past 4 days.
i'm feeling better today, and even managed to use my home time well, running around between my sponsors, collecting stuff for the tour divide. i decided to put a 3 litre hydration bag inside the frame bag, and carry a 2 litre hydration pack on my back. it had to be as minimalist as possible, and as comfortable as they come. there was no other choice than CAMELBAK, ofcourse. so i went to the guys at CAMELBAK, and they hooked me up with their Octane XCT pack, which was built with the purpose of minimalist racing in mind. it's light and very comfortable, and it can fold and get into one of my bike bags when out of use. awesome.
we started taking our goats out of their fenced home, so that they'll eat all of of the green crap that grew in our yard during the winter... they are so cute, are'nt they?
anyway, if everything is fine, i'll be back on the bike this weekend, and go on riding long hours till april 12th or so. after that i'll take a few days off, and go do my race simulation on the 17th, starting in Eilat, and riding 800 km in 4 days, to the Hermon mountain top finish. looking forward to those looooooong hours, alone on the saddle.
it looks like its going to rain any minute now...
