TI Prep and DIY Musette

I took the prep for TI a little differently in the last two years, and why not, since I haven't come close to finishing. Cross Bike. 38x17or16. 4 Bottles. One filled with dry Perpetuem to refill the others as I go. A Sparks may end up in the empty at mile 300. Who can say?
Mrs. Snob put together a packable musette which hooks nicely off my saddle bag when empty. Soft strap for no shoulder dig. EuroTrash all the way. No time to grow a mullet Boonen style so I went for the chops. The Aveyator and Vomitron came with the assist as usual and get a big thanks.

Cool idea with the bag! As a bonus, you can use it as a wind block: Stuff it down the front of your jersey at night...

I wish you the best of luck! Have fun, keep your head up, and most importantly--

KEEP PEDALING!
