Pursuant to this rant - many triathletes and runners have gone way overboard on carrying water. It's OK to end a race or a workout a little bit dehydrated, folks!
Next time you're tempted to carry an extra water bottle, remember:
24 ounces of water plus bottle weighs 1.6 pounds. Or over 700 grams.
How much do people spend to carve 700 grams of weight off their bike? Hundreds and even thousands of dollars!

Shopping Day
It seems that Rudy Project is no longer offering that helmet that I like in the fancy yellow and black paint job! Oh noooo!!! So instead, equipped with a 15% off offer at Nashbar for today only (coupon code DAYLITE), I ordered a new Bell Ghisallo (named after the patron saint of cycling):
I also got my bike Buttercup a couple of pretty accessories for those long rides coming up this spring - my two water bottle cages cracked some time last fall, so it was time to acquire some replacements.
