Returned to mates car post ride to find window smashed, bag gone with all my warm gear and faithful rain jacket.... made it to a shop just as it was closing to grab some warm clothes for the trip home only to mistakenly buy large in 'boys' sizing. I was warm but looked like a freak. Needless to say I hope my old bag decided to die and self destruct on those rotten pr*?s. :-)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996274474092451874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-84519033373065109702011-12-15T16:18:23.824-05:002011-12-15T16:18:23.824-05:00I have one wearing thin around the edges,but it st...I have one wearing thin around the edges,but it still has some useful life left still. I also have a pair of New Balance cross trainers I STILL insist on wearing mtn biking when I expect muddy trail...I've had 'em going FIFTEEN YEARS now,and the Wife keeps trying to throw them out,with all of their holes and scuffs. (for the record,the 2 pair of shoes I've been using since "retiring" those old 475's are the newer models of the same shoe ;) ). Those shoes have dirt from every state that's stateside but two from my trucking days,as well as have had trail dirt from 36 of 'em (states).....yeah,I feel you GT,it's hard to say goodbye.<br /><br />A really good read that brought a big smile (and a twang of greiving) to my face :)<br /><br />SteveSmall Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861901906750176510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-19303960261960002312011-12-15T13:46:23.471-05:002011-12-15T13:46:23.471-05:00I once wrote an ode to an old bag.

I suffered the exact same reaction myself last year, when an ancient Carradice cotton duck saddlebag finally bit the dust.<br /><br />I'm not so clear on the reason for wanting to carry stuff on your back, when the bike can do that job for you. If it can't, that simply means you are riding the wrong bike.Exhausted_Aukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724847867511724067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-79681605294172507732011-12-15T09:31:55.283-05:002011-12-15T09:31:55.283-05:00I understand that attachment to a bag.

Yet alas the adventures came to an end on frightful day when the zipper no longer worked and the wear was making the materials thin. <br />A good bag is a faithful companion, on you can trust in it's depths your secrets and treasures.<br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
