In 75 deg. weather, heck in 62 deg weather, I would leave the rain jacket home. A rain at 75 will not be unpleasant, provided you stay moving.
Two years ago, I did the Highlander century, and expected rain to come late afternoon. I left off the fenders, left the jacket in the car. The rain hit in the first hour of the ride, temps dropped to mid 40's, it poured, and for one five minute period it haled. That is jacket weather.

My only other options are to go with the Camelbak after all, but I never did a test ride with it. Or have Mr H SAG the hill for us, which is 5-6 hours of his time for a liter of water. So I think I'm going to go with the seat pack for lack of better options right now.

Weddings in the NYC region can be all kinds of crazy. Nothing about them is cheap and everyone wants to one-up, or not be 'embarrassed' at the very least. If I had to guess, I'd say that I've been to at least three weddings that were comfortably in the six-figures, and it's not like I was in the same social circles as the Rockefellers. Weddings might be the only thing more contested in NYC than getting your kid in to the 'right' public school.

Machka and I were married on a small dock on the shores of Lake Annette just outside Jasper, Canada. We had done a century return trip to Athabasca Falls earlier in the day. Present were us, Machka's parents and the marriage celebrant and his wife, who are related to the family. Oh, and the bikes.
It was cheap -- less than $100, including the rings (tungsten*), Machka's $5 dress and $2 shoes, and I got a $30 pair of trousers and $10 shirt.
But I don't count the return airfare for me from Australia, which was around $2500.
* Tungsten is a great conductor. A couple of weeks after getting back to Australia, I was doing some welding on a piece of farm equipment, caught the ring between the stick and the metal, and zapped it! I wasn't even welding at the time! So now that ring has a little notch in it. I am planning on getting another one of a slightly different style, but of tungsten again.

My wife watched her sister go through the planning of her marriage for a year, stress, more stress, and realized that she seemed very unhappy throughout. So when I proposed, and she accepted, it was with the provision that we elope and that it be outdoors, on a cliff overlooking Cuyahoga State Park in Akron. It was a special place for us, many Saturday afternoons watching the sunset, having a picnic and just being together. I, of course, accepted and we were married there on s sunny January 9th 25 years ago, a foot of clean fresh snow on the ground. She wore a blue wool dress she had made and boots and I a sweater and tie. It was us, a minister and that was it. Until my professor of surgery for my rotation at the time showed up with his two kids, a bottle of Champagne and a camera. He figured out what was up, cleaver guy. I would not change a thing and hope my kids can find a spouse and plan half as good.

Wrong side of the bed this morning? Oh, and though I respect you tremendously I have to correct you- Fig Newtons are 55 cal per cookie, 110 calories per serving which is...let me think 55 x 2 = 110, that makes two cookies. So glad I studied Calculus with such fervor.

What's really needed is a top tube mounted, spring loaded Newton dispenser, Pez style if you will, that holds a sleeve of Newtons.

You have more ya'll's popping out. You can use you for two of you, or more of you than one of you, or for one of you, if you so choose, just don't use you for ewes. They get pissed.

Just looked on a single sleeve box. Sure enough 110 cal for two cookies. What's up Nabisco? I demand answers!
