Just Ramblin' on??

So after a week of riding the new fatty exclusively (can you tell it is a fun bike??),


That's me riding fatties with Giant the magician...as we look up at Hagrid...




Actually I think Giant looks more like a sorcerer than a wizard...

Anyways, after all of the fat riding, I thought I should go back to one of the old standby's...(is it old if I just got it in April?) just for a change of pace....so to speak

So I took the CX bike out for some gravel, rail trail, road riding...

Here is on the rail trail near BWPaul's farmland...



And this is a cool little midway spot at the corner of Field Rd. and Concession 2



This is a cat in a pantry...


I know...nothing to do with anything, but just thought I'd throw that in there (thanks PaulH!!).

Speaking of cats....have you checked out Fig's new facebook page yet?  It's 'Don't Kill Me On the Road'....or something like that.  It has a whole lot of Fig doing this...



....to bad drivers like these guys who near miss him while he commutes on his bike...





Actually, this is Fig's cat...


Anyways, the page is kind of funny, scary, face-palmy.  I think egggman recently posted a near miss there too...

Speaking of cool...I recently found a cool little unit to replace this...



Yeah, that's my tool kit.  A ziplock bag that doesn't zip and has a hole in it...cuz you know, that's a great way to feel confident you always have a CO2, or powerlink handy when you need it...

So now I have this....

It's a Cat5 Mini Companion, and since I love my Cat5 gear bags I thought I'd give this thing a try...and its a perfect storage unit for my carry on tools...

It has a spot for everything I need to carry...a pocket for my life savings (hey don't judge), or a card if you prefer,  mesh pockets for various tools (I have CO2s with a chuck, multi tool, tire levers)....and a little zip pocket where I keep a powerlink (but you could keep your Anavar, greens plus, EPO, or tiny gluten free beer in there if you wanted).

And it has a zip up pocket on the outside that fits my cell phone perfectly (if your cell is a 55 inch high def TV it may not fit...mine is an Iphone 5 in an otterbox case)...


And I've heard that the thing is waterproof, but I really don't want to test that out...

What about a tube, you say?  You could truck a tube in it...but with different bikes with different tires I attach the appropriate tube on the bike.  Anyways, the thing works great for me....you can check it out at www.cat5gear.ca if you like...and I think Rock and Road Cycle carries them...

Anyways....Oggie complained that I don't post regularly enough (maybe I need to blog about bran???), misconceptionz says I don't have enough cat pics so I hope this post fit the bill...ok one more...




Actually....to keep Fig happy, next post I will post about something that helps keep me safe on the road, safe from hunters, and safer from scary animals...




Anyways....its Friday and we have this to look forward to...




But in the meantime lets hope the weather holds (so far it's not looking so good) so we can enjoy another post ride bonfire on the weekend...


Speaking of time wasting...it's been two whole days since I rode the fatbike (can you tell I like that thing???)...

So, I'm gonna go do that now...(Coach Rob says to get my lazy arse moving!)

Stay posted!!
