yeah another

saw it somewhere else kind of day...

Terracycle. Very cool, sure it is old news but I had a second because of some messed up samples to catch up and seeing the thing over at BikeRumor was pretty cool. Clif, nice job.

I got a great response from Clif about the lack of bulk packaging. And hey I'd completely forgotten about the Big Shot. But it never sold well and I guess they canned it. Will they come out with a bulk package or at least a 3-5oz size Gel Flask volume sort of deal? I personally hope so, but then I guess the biggest problem is getting people to use it.

All about marketing. And proving that there is a performance benefit to using a flask. No trying to open a gel, litter leash or not. No trying to suck down as much of the pack as you can, no worrying about where to put it or where the bits you didn't get out will go if you put it back. grab flask out of pocket, suck down what you can swallow at once, stuff it back in. Waterbottle like motions. More efficient. And that generally means better fueling and better fueling means better performance.
No?

At least Cross simplifies it. Races are too short and too intense to require or demand feeding during. Can't wait. Can't wait for cross. Till then I've gotta get me a flask or two.
