If your bouncing around on your PJ's and you need a drink what do you !?
Bottle stuck on the top of a fence post left on the top of a bay window or do you ask a mate to pass you one $:-\$

A better way is a backpack drink bottle !

The hold 1.5 ltrs and you drink it through a tube, joggers and bikers use them.
You can get cheap one for less than £10 sounds a lot for a bottle holder but means you can keep moving where you like !

I've got one for London this weekend

Camelbacks you mean? I use mine for skiing, biking and Bocking! I've got mine, and it holds 2litres, muahahahaha!

reality is if on move --1 just moves about till 1 finds a good bocking spot to bounce around at. Sooo, a bt of water ( tho i find a few 500ml bts better) in a small lite weight backpack is cool . Take it off when i feel the need to be modestly dynamis

Yes £40
Seen one which for £14 which is a normal back as well as a drinks holder ?

I don't fill it up, as its really heavy, and i've had it about 2years so might be an old one or something? mine was £20 i think. £40? thats just a waste

I tend to not like to carry a bottle in a backpack because as you bounce you shake it up and that just warms the bottle up quicker. For this weekend I'm just going to pop into newsagents along the way to get cold drinks. Bit more expensive but they will be cold.

Q carry your own bottles what happened to the manservant

I thought "Bearer the fridge and quick about it" would be more your style

I'm off to take a bottle to drink at the start and fill my backpack with ice !?

lol. What's wrong with a normal backpack for carrying stuff? I was out today on my PJ's for 4 1/2 hours (semi practice for sunday), with one of those bags that only goes over one shoulder. Though I was'nt jumping like mad or anything on them, my coke would've been a lot fizzier if I did. I'm taking some-one with me on Sunday, and they're walking, so they'll be a pack mule for the day. Muhahahaha...

I did fit a bike bottle cage to my bocks. Worked OK. But I left it on on a trip to Spain. Mistake --got damaged in transit. Then I manged the screw head trying to fix. Not put it back. Wanted to do it for the weekend but things have come up between and it doesnt look like i will have time grrr

But on that trip I was the only person at the start of the main day who thought to get some water ( 2x2 Lt bottles) so ended up sharing it, until that is we got to our main bocking area. Our hosts then appeared and pulled loads of bottles of water and bags of apples and bananas out of the back of the merc people carrier. Now that was a civilized bock

DePaw · « **Reply #10 on:** August 16, 2007, 06:12:22 PM »

Wow. That was nice. Where was the bottle holder attached on the bock btw?

Bbmthbloke · « **Reply #11 on:** August 16, 2007, 06:20:29 PM »

On the knee bar. GOt no pix of final set up soz. But basically was on outside with the grip bit in a position such that it didnt slip and slide round to hit leg. 1 needed to put some gripping padding in i found ( bit of inner tube did). Gotta confess I didnt get as far as doing a flip with it on ( or wih it not on come to think of it d'oh). But at worse you would just take the bt out whilst doing flips.

Oh and some1 is I believe working on designs for a small bag/pannier. Suitable for mobile/digicam/wallet that attaches to a stilt ( no news on how that is going). Tho I seem to recall it was me who suggested it to him

Bbmthbloke · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2007, 12:48:16 PM »

It would be at the side knee bar to footplate.

I use a webtex aquapack (a camelback basically). It holds 2 litres, fits as snug as a backpack, and even has a pouch to store stuff in. I bought it new off ebay for £28 inc. vat and postage.

Timmo, Ian and the lads get sponsored by a company that sell these packs http://www.kriega.com/pages/products/prodframeset.html Timmo has one on in the picture below and he was telling me he hardly felt it on him and it didn't restrict him in anyway, plus he thought it helped.
