I put a water bottle in a jersey and didn't wear the camel back on a 68 mile ride and I felt better than the 52 mile ride I did last week with the camelback. BUT, I rode with someone this week, and I had gels and a clif bar and some dried fruit and gatorade and last week I only had regular H2O. so, in the end, I don't think it makes much of a difference.

Of course I did. But I guess I prefer not having it. It just isn't needed and the drink tube hitting my knee while in the drops (although probably easily fixable) was really annoying the **** out of me. Plus it covers the back of this sweet captain America jersey my wife bought me.

Sequoia National Forest, Giant Sequoia National Monument and Sequoia National Park. See a theme here? 
We rode out of Springville on Saturday, first climbing Balch Park Rd loop and then Hwy 190. Sunday we drove up to Three Rivers and climbed Mineral King Road. What an ass kicker! 
It was amazing. I am trying to label the pictures on flickr right now. More details to come.
