I've run out of water on what should have been a 20 mile ride near my parents. I had two big bottles. I got lost (went west instead of east, corrected by going north) and ran out of water in the middle of nowhere. It was about 90 and 100% humidity. I ended up having to ride 10 miles before I found a house. When I got back on track, I stopped at a gas station to get an ice cream, and discovered there was a big power outage, and had to steal one. -- sig 72 |
