Probably mostly because of Americans’ phobia of ice in beer. It’s a damn great thing. Ice keeps your beer cold and waters it down just a little so you can keep drinking without getting totally smashed early on. It’s how everyone drinks beer in Thailand.

Get a soft cooler lunch bag thing.
Ive been doing this for years. Its the only way I can stop my wife drinking all the beer. Hide it and only bring it our when necessary and put the ice in ! No way its lasting very long if its stored in the fridge.

Here’s a quick camera dump without context from our Oregon Stampede Crapbrapping weekend.
More tomorrow. Must sleep.
Note the temperature.
The chair is there in the center between my bike computer and my phone mount. #noregrets

Do you want to CONSUME?!
This fits a tall boy. Not the contents of a tall boy, but the can itself.
Put the rest in whatever body of water you’re camping next to and wait half an hour.

I carried a cheap 24 oz can of beer on my bike for 40 miles / 2,500 ft over the weekend, waited patiently while it cooled down in the cold lake for about an hour then cracked it open & took a couple sips.
Set it down on a rock, reached for something else and knocked it over. Carbonation asploded it all over beach and wasted about 50%. Womp womp

Aw man, that’s awful!
Comparitively, carrying a 16.08oz collapsible chair that folds down to the size of a water bottle seems pretty efficient in the enjoyment-to-weight category!
Also has points in the renewables category too.

We were 100ish miles west of Scott and crew this weekend for our ride. Not quite as hot (but still pretty painful for us temperate PNW weenies). Took the train from Seattle to Eugene, then rode back to Portland over 3 days.
Day 1: Eugene to Independence.
I quit at mile 50 (of 89) and got a ride in the sag wagon. Spent the rest of the day rehydrating and then went to the Rogue Farm. The rest of the group rolled into camp at 11pm.
Day 2: Independence to Lake Champoeg (70ish miles with 3 planned stops for wineries. Ha)
I woke up feeling like shit still so I rode in the car again. While the rest of the group slogged out another day in the sun, me and the driver and her cute dog rode through Salem’s cute parks and farm stands, got coffee, and hung out. Met the group at a winery at the top of an 800ft climb and was happy with my choice not to ride.
Finished the day at a weird ass Airbnb campsite but got to swim in the Willamette.
Day 3: To Portland!!
I rode the last day which was a lot less miles and a lot more fun. We made a reservation at a miniature donkey farm which was rad. Hung out there for a while then slowly made our way back through the Portland suburbs.
Edited: the woman who organized it got sponsorship from ridewithgps and Oveja Negra, hence the matching jerseys and bags in some shots.

I said this in our DMs, but quitting something that really sucks is highly unrated

Erath is good stuff but yeah, Worden Hill is a killer. I’m partial to heading into Dundee proper and grabbing pizza at Red Hills and a couple stops at tasting rooms in town if traveling by bike.
So, getting the itch to try some pukebacking. Likely on the mtb. My buddy is gonna sell me a relevate harness. Can I get by with a dry bag strapped to my saddle/post? Eventually I’ll get a seat pack. Going to look into getting some king manything cages and p-clamp them to my fork. Then…frame bag? What’s good? Is relevate the gold standard? Or can I get by with something cheaper?
