During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were 'just going down to the corner'.

Alright…….do you really want to know the answer to the question that's been plaguing mtb'ers for centuries? I'm going to divulge this information but only cuz it's going to help out fellow mtb'ers. I could be killed for posting this but it's a risk I'm willing to take. This information is so secret…..it makes the answer to "How do they get the soft flowing caramel, into the Caramilk bar?" look like Child's play. Ok, well here goes nothing……..

TANG!!!!!

That's right…….why do you think Nasa invented the stuff! It tastes good and cleans all at the same time! I'm not joking….this stuff is like miracle liquid…….it does everything. I once ran out of gas and used Tang……..I haven't filled my truck up since, and that was 2 1/2 months ago!!!

I just bought a new hydrapack today.. Canadian Tire just wasn't cutting it anymore. MEC for 63…

However, a new bladder for 13.75 doesn't sound too bad if mine goes bad, but the big zip should help prevent that.

No sugar definately helps. There was never anythign but water in the crappy tire one and it didnt taste too plasticky.
