I get that a fanny pack worn on the front might look kinda silly, but being on a recumbent apparently already triggers roadies so there ain't no turning back. If they can keep up single handedly then they deserve to throw all the jabs they want ;) I tried several 6L sized backs on the front and...

...hose in the middle, being drenched in fresh water helped us finish. The last 30 km were a sweating agony (also I had pinched my 2.5 l water bladder on the morning and had to learn to manage a mere .75 l bottle). There was one last nice descent to finish the tour, the shear coolness of the air...

Welcome Kirby. Glad to see that you made the leap. I have a V20, but I believe that your S40 will become your favorite over your previous road bikes. One thing about 'bents in general is that your legs can't take up any of the bumps that they do while on a road bike. No bunny hopping over...

I don't use a water bottle anymore, only a hydration bladder in the back of the suitcase / bag With a tube to the wrist there to a velcro strap I could drink very badly from the bottle while driving

Tons of options. Try this thread (or search “water bladder”): https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/2022-q45-where-does-the-water-bottle-go.14509/#post-175038

Thanks for the info. Okay, so as standard the Q45 only has mounting points for 2 medium size water bottles on the back of the seat, with no space to split/double those out. That's not enough water for me so lets consider ways to carry more water. I think using the position adjusters to change...

What does that mean? Is that something I want as well? XD I have searched for it, but nothing came up. Ah, he has started a thread about a Black Friday sale, you probably called it a discount? Okay, not relevant for me, then. :) Well, it holds the same two bottles and then some, right? Also...

If the temperature wasn't too cold then I would just ride with what I always wear, which are simply tight bottoms and a tight top. If it was cold enough I would add a layer or two, and use a cycling jacket with the sleeves cinched up as well as waterproof long pants with the pant legs also...

Good work. I find that it is best to start drinking sips of the electrolyte 15 to 20 minutes into a hot ride, before you even feel thirsty. It helps with my cramps but doesn't completely cure them.

...at 30 miles in.Next time, I'll start at 0 miles in. A couple of points I left off my post: The Race Cage bag was great! I carried my water bladder there, making it super easy to keep drinking. Wrapped around the bladder were a couple of PVA cooling towels, so when I stopped I always could...

...trail/road combo I've really been loving riding with the Race Cage (RC). As I noted in an earlier post, I have been putting a 3.0 liter water bladder in the RC and wrapping it in a cooling towel. I've also put a Velcro loop around the right tube for the headrest and feeding the bite...

...time at the 2nd feed station and decided to skip the next one as I had plenty of food in my bags and basically just needed to refill my water bladder, which could wait for the last station around km 175. Roads over there were mostly in good conditions, with two majors hindrances: sheep who...

...also my first ride using the new Race Cage hanging off the back of the headrest. I was looking forward to trying out my Camelback 3.0L water bladder, and seeing how putting all my little bits of stuff would work out. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with everything. The trail is a mild climb to...

...on my current racing set-up. I have one on each side of the frame mounted like saddlebags, with the outer straps across the top of the seat pan: I keep tools and spares on one side, and my phone, wallet and supplies on the other. There's a water bladder in the dead space in the race case now.

I have been kicking around ideas for touring on my V20 as well, and those top tube bags attached to the bottom of the seat with velcro is 1 of the things I have been considering. Your solution Andreas is another really good one to secure them without having to drill holes in the seat. I assume...

Eating on the bike requires access to the food while riding (obviously). When I'm riding without side panniers, I keep the food in the Moose Pack under the seat and refill that when I stop. For me the Moose Pack is very easy to access with one hand while riding. Another storage place for food...

Here's my (overdue) race report: Training: I did two double centuries as part of my training. The first was the Best of the Bay DC on Oct 7, and it was a hot one. This ride goes up Mt Diablo, then through inland parts of the Bay Area that get quite hot. I got behind on my hydration, and it...

Well done, Andreas! What a beautiful ride. It seems to me like you're switching back to the trike just to make it hard for me to draft off of you. If you didn't see my fb post - or if you did - here's my report on my first 600K. Interested in feedback from the Anciennes on my PBP plan. at the...

I have a Fidlock bottle too and tried it under the boom on the V20 but I can't sit up with the bottle in situ so I rotated the upper part of the boom 180º to put the bottle at the top Could it be that my initial fit was wrong so I couldn't sit up with Fidlock bottle fitted? It's the 600ml...

I bought a Brain bag from Bacchetta and it works pretty well. Plenty of room for a 3.5L bladder and room for tools, windbreaker etc. I bent an aluminum bar to support the bottom as others have posted about on here in the past. Stock seat. Attached a fidlock water bottle to the side using a...
