Today I used a bigger bandanna, lined my mug with it like a cheese cloth, shook the thermos to get the grounds out with it, poured the mug full, twisted it as I lifted it to force filter it and squeeze the grounds and the coffee was great and smooth. Easy clean up to shake out the grounds into

BTW, the basket is a home office item from Target or Office Depot, part of a modular storage system. Cheaper than a Wald, and big enough for 2 full paper grocery sacks. On Sat, Jun 1, 2019 at 4:55 PM Patrick Moore wrote: > I've been trying different ways to carry largish loads on the Hon Solo >

Roberta, I want to know how your arm sleeves work out. I hate using sunscreen (I use natural stuff and it’s white and goopy) because you’re right - the arms get an obscene amount of sun in summer riding. I’ll be interested to know how they look and if they’re hot and how comfortable they are.
