My family is officially crazy but I'm so happy that they are............. today is my birthday & they got me a "Look" carbon water bottle cage to match my new bike. This cage weighs in at 24 grams but the price is $99.99. The weight of my old cage is 32 grams so I will be lighter by 8 grams. To put this in perspective a tall water bottle full of water weighs ~1,000 grams. Bottom line is when starting my ride my hydration system (it's expensive so I need a fancy name for it) will weigh 1,024 grams compared to a super heavy 1,032 grams. This makes me so much more confident when I'll be blowing by Andrew going up Ceasar's Head in March.

Happy birthday Jacques!

I'll wish you happy birthday now because, if I waited until camp, I'd be so far ahead of you up Caesar's head, you wouldn't be able to hear me.
