i've got the CamelBak Lobo for when i go riding
http://shop.camelbak.com/lobo/d/1052
holds 100oz (3L)
has 2 smallish zippered pockets and a small pouch (i like that because it doesnt allow me to overpack and carry a bunch of shit i dont need)
nice and light
very comfortable
Most likely not sold by amazon but by a vender?How is the lobo $185 on Amazon & $85 on camelbak's site? You'd think it'd be the other way around
farmington valley rail trail
leave out of unionville near river rd
depending on how long of a ride i want to do i either go to the avon town yard (18 miles) or through simsbury (30ish miles)
2 weeks ago i rode the trail up to the MA border (52 miles)
its a pretty nice trail... not too busy/crowded and a fair amount of shade
for the few sections that i need to ride on the road for i have found all of the passing vehicles to be very courteous

i did the south section of this trail too
from cheshire to new haven (28 miles)
the trail is decent but you have to go through some shitty neighborhoods down on the lower hamden/new haven areas that made me not really want to bother with it again
