Review: thinksport Stainless Steel Water Bottle | Austin On Two Wheels
by elliott
While the true test will come during our Texas summers, I found the bottle did an excellent job of keeping water ice cold for 3-4 hours.

We crossed paths with the trio on Oct. 18 in Brackettville, on the southwestern approaches to the Texas Hill Country, where they and some of our riders had stopped for lunch at a local church, Templo Elienai…

by Wills on Wheels
Yep… I’m back at home… time to take care of a few things…and THINK and PLAN!
You know one of the things that keeps coming up in conversations besides the fact that I’m doing this cross country bicycle trek in winter is…. how I’m able to do it… not physically, mentally or emotionally but FINANCIALLY!
