Water bottle cages support a fair bit of weight when the water bottles are full; almost a kilogram, so on rough roads, I guess they really get pounded. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the blog.<BR/><BR/>Ken C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320772397011798285.post-74357828699460531482008-07-04T05:53:00.000-07:002008-07-04T05:53:00.000-07:00Hi Terry,Sounds like your tour is full of exciteme...Hi Terry,<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your tour is full of excitement - both good and bad, I didn't hear of anyone losing their billfold on our tour but we did have people injured. I believe that there were 16 hospital admittances all together with most of them being from the food poisoning. At the wind turbine site near Palm Springs, the crosswinds threw one bike and rider over his wife's crashing them both. They had to drop out of the tour.<BR/><BR/>I think that the winds were the hardest part of our tour this year. Out West, we had horrendous head and cross winds day after day. However, the last week of the East was almost all light tailwinds which was a great relief.<BR/><BR/>Kim and I went for a 25 miles tandem ride yesterday morning. My bike arrived home (by UPS) about noon so I'm putting it back together now.<BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying your experiences.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/>BobPedalPowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886593542559990507noreply@blogger.com
