Saturday, after work, we went over to Hiawatha Cyclery and picked up water bottle cages and mounting hardware. For Frenchie we got a bracket that attaches right onto the handlebars, for Si Walter one that attaches where ever you want it. Shannon now has a cage on the down tube.
So yesterday when we biked the greenway, water was available without stopping.
Also yesterday we set up the tent.
A week ago we bought our first tent. Till now we have borrowed my sister's dome tent, but it was kinda small. And a trick to set up in the dark. So we had been in Thrifty Outfitters and saw a Eureka a frame tent like we had in the boy scouts.
Now back then we all tried to get into the sunrise dome tents because they were bigger and easier to dry out in the morning. But the Timberline was the fastest set up, and lighter.
I figure a tent that can withstand a troop of boy scouts can withstand us. And it is huge. When we set it up behind the apartment it took up a significant corner of the patch of green we have. Labor day, we will be camping.
