  1. For adventuring riders who need to carry a lot of water. Say you set off
    with a one liter bottle of water in your pack, and 2- one liter hoops,
    one on each side of the rim.

    The stopper in the hoop would prevent the water from moving around.
    When the bottle was empty, an entire hoop would be drained to fill it.

    This sounds like a bad idea, yet there is not all that many good places
    to carry water on a uni.

  2. Thanks, Ken!

    Like you, I've always found swooping (and other types of banked turns)
    to be a LOT of fun.

    When you do them just right, it's almost magical...

    ...kind of like when you land perfectly in an airplane and the wheels
    gently kiss the runway!

    I'm hoping to get my ride repaired and start getting over to the club
    meetings again soon. Hope to see you over there...

    I'm going to get

    turns). It's good to see your avatar.
