Tea time...

I have really been enjoying the balmy weather of late and have taken to stopping for a spot of tea on my commute...







Picked up an Optimus Weekender pot a few days ago have been testing that too... it worked well with the Trangia stove.

The weather here has been too balmy to get into fat bike mode yet. No snow and temperatures pushing close to +10C for the next week. So I might as well take advantage and keep doing longer rides on my touring bike.

I have two Trangia alcohol stoves. One small and one a little bigger. Works great even in below freezing temps. It's so simple, clean burning and durable, nothing to break.
