Sorry for the thread drift but I have to ask Nick how he puts the powder into his bottles while riding. I use the camelback insulated bottles that covers screw off. I keep my powder in small screw cap bottles. Any tips? I have not figured it out.
My first "stop" will be Villaine and the time saved by filling the powder on the bike might be significant to stay with a nice group but then again I will have to find a Roubinet for water.
Hi, 9606, I generally do not refill powder while riding though I have done so from time to time when I didn't want to get dropped. I just use a snack-size ziplock since my powder refill is only 5 TBS of powder. On the bike, I can usually shelter the refill process somewhat from the wind using the top flap of my Gilles Berthoud handlebar bag. Just have to be careful not to spill powder or water in the bag.
Usually I just get set up to do the powder refill the moment I get off the bike, that way I don't forget to do it.
Nick
