Looking for your .02 on Hydration Packs
I run with a MULE now and that is fine.
However I will be doing some longer rides this year & want to be prepared a little more. I have it down to 3.
Anyone using the following? Likes or dislike on them?
CamelBak Havoc Hydration Pack - 100 oz.
CamelBak H.A.W.G. NV Hydration Pack - 100 oz.
CamelBak Mule NV Hydration Pack - 100 oz.

You don't need all that crap. Octane XC is all you need. Live on the edge.

I have never been caught 10 miles from the car broken down, I'm afraid to get any more that about 2 miles from the car. The bike path is a gnarly loop.

Duce97 or who ever may have an answer to the question. How much did you get your CamelBak H.A.W.G. NV Hydration Pack - 100 oz for? Was just curisous.

OP-
I checked out your link- you'll be out in the boonies and, if you're going now, it's gonna be unbelieveably hot. Start at the absolute crack of dawn. You may even want to bring more water than a mere 100 oz..

Ive been there , went last year . Stayed at ash grove and rode Tsali and Black mountain. Not a bad place to ride had a great time out there. If i remeber right Tsali was the bigger of the two rides at about 18 or 19 total miles.

I have the 100oz MULE version and love it. Room for food, tools, a rain jacket, and I could probably cram some other stuff in there too if I tried.

You didn't get on the good stuff. Tsali is a really small area and the riding is not that good.
