Who drinks bottled water anyway?

Actually I know many people that do. There is a time an a place for it, i.e bad well water, no access to tap water, THAILAND. However, for normal every day use it is such a drain it is on the environment.
Check out this link and send it on to any hummer driving, bottled water drinking, yuppie fools that you know of out there...Here are a couple highlights, bottled water: has more bacteria (in some cases, but never less bacteria), has no fluoride, is just tap water in a bottle in most cases, is very bad for the environment...need I go on?http://www.active.com/story.cfm?story_id=12769
What??? Dasani is just tap water???

Anyway, enough with the rant. I just couldn't pass up posting this link when I came across it.

So biking...hmm, I finished 3 14-16 hour weeks in a row with some good hard riding before I left and over seas. Since Sunday, I have been doing RR stuff, well I guess the 2 hockey games were way to intense to be RR, but mostly RR stuff anyway. I am feeling pretty rested and will pick it up again this weekend. I think I am not going to lift legs too much more this year. It really takes the snap out of my legs for 24-36 hours and I will probably be better served using that energy to pedal.
Fisher and I are gonna ride hard 1 or both of the days this weekend if anyone wants to join us (Kato Crew, Oftedahls, etc). With temps above 40 this no longer seems like such a daunting task.
Only 2 more weeks after this week and I will be in the warmth again...this time VEGAS baby... the fuel should have signed up for a frequent flier program!

Where do you plan on riding? and what time.Hollywood is having a party at his shop in the afternoon that we're going to also.

The weather looks kinda crappy for the weekend...if it is occasional showers,we will ride, but if it is a soaker all day, my butt will be on the trainer. It will be a wake up and decide. Fisher and I will call the Kato and Shoreview crews on Sat morning to make a decision.
Sunday I have church in the morning and am leaving for the Wild game at 4pm, so I am probably just gonna go solo that day.
Is the Hwood party by invite only? Sounds fun.

4:00-7:00 is a social gathering for anyone I think.After 7:00 you can "party-on" with H'wood downtown untill the wee hrs of sunday morning if you wanted.
