    Hello —

    Anyone else doing the Total 200 this year (July 6th)? I will be doing the 200 KM version — life happened and I didn’t have time to train for the longer 200 mile route.

    Question for those of you who have done this before: what do you do about water? How frequently is water available on the course? I only have space for one water bottle on my bike at the moment unless I remove my air pump. I’ve seen cyclists with a rack for water bottles on the back of their seat post (I think) — that’s the only other option I can think of. Otherwise, I’m not too proud to use the Camelbak. Advice is appreciated.

    Looking forward to it!

    Liz

    It’s not that bad. If you can stand the trainer, that’s still an option during naps. Also, taking #1 out on the Weehoo is a great way to get one-on-one time (I know, not quite the same as training for the Total200 nonsense).

    I’ve done the TNR pulling a trailer. Perfect opportunity for you to bruise some egos…

    There are no KOM points on Kidical Mass rides.

    But I win all of them!

    Time to lobby Strava for a “with kids” category.

    Sydney is jealous — she wanted to me to do the ride on the bakfiets last Tuesday. The Challenge Ride with the Bullitt was fun, though I only passed a few folks.

    I’m not sure if I’d take the trailer; perhaps if I was in the back, seems otherwise like it would be a little dangerous [for others mainly]. I would really hope that no one that far back in the group would have any issue with being passed on the hills, but you’re probably right :) Maybe I’ll do that next time; the weehoo on those hills would be a nice workout.

    And, yeah, Dasgeh, as kidical mass organizer, has definitely KOM’d the general riding-with-kids challenge here.
