[RBW] Re: Gray Whale 200K & handlebar bag

[Joan Oppel]

Thanks for the terrific write up on the brevet.  As for handlebar bags:  for touring (which I do with only rear panniers as I motel tour),  I use a lightweight small bag on my handlebars that carries my point&shoot digital camera and food.  The bag is an unmentionable brand but it is quite light.  A headlight would still fit on the top of the bars.  I cannot notice any difference in handling of the Bleriot (or for that matter, the Waterford) with that small bag.  And since I mostly ride both bikes without a bag, I think I would notice if the bag had some effect.  If needed, I can unzip the bag, grab a bar, tear the wrapper with my teeth and eat it while riding.  Not my first choice, but I've done it to hang with folks.

A small, light bag might work on the Roadeo.
Happy riding,
Joan

Congrats. Definitely shows my rides over the weekend were properly
weak.

Makes me want to contemplate a 200k in the future. However, will not
join a club just to do the one ride.
