camelback tip

["Tina Hicks" <hickst@nichols.com>]

Add to the ever-growing list of things you should carry -
extra camelback bite valve.

My mom and I were at the Biltmore ride last fall merrily
cantering along - well I was merrily cantering I think my
mom was saying something about slowing down <g> - when I
hear something to the effect of "where is all this water
coming from"....turns out her bite valve had fallen by the
wayside somehow and all that water (90 oz I think) was
jumping ship :-)

One day you'll see the *fully prepared* rider going down the
trail - he or she will have a small U-Haul behind the horse
with all these must-have items.
