I must be the cruel one here, because I am laughing my butt off! You are supposed to ride with your MOUTH open so you eat those bugs for your during-ride-protein source, LOL! At least, that is what I always wind up doing, without even trying!

Can't tell you how many times I've nearly capsized, all for swallowing some flying protein and gagging.

Know what helps when you ride without sleep? Starbucks. I know your frame, the Sequoia that is, because I have the sister bike to it, the Sirrus, sitting here with a 'for sale' sign on it (a victim of an initial, non-educated buying choice a couple of years ago when the 2002's first hit), but it has the same triangle. Because I know the bike, I know that if you get a good grabby bottlecage, like a scusi, and squish it in on your seat tube mount, it will perfectly hold a grande with a sleeve on it, for your ride............
