It would have been nice to have so I could have continued to eat without stopping. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing how many times someone can re-think their packing for an event like this. I was still changing things right up until race time. <BR/><BR/>Pugsley looks great all outfitted with the Epic packs!Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-62108351034627017692008-02-13T18:29:00.001-07:002008-02-13T18:29:00.001-07:00These tires are off the chain!
