Hey from the City Brew, where I’m devouring this scone like it owes me money! And yeah, I deserve it. Just finished a 5.5-hour mountain bike adventure, starting midday and ending just now. Week 3 of my training for the upcoming season and Solo World Championships is in the bag, and I can’t wait to be there. Even without the fanciest gear, deepest pockets, or youthful resilience, it’s gonna be epic. Train, train, train for now!
Today’s grand experiment: does Carbo Rocket freeze? With its electrolyte and mineral punch, I figured it might hold out longer than plain water in these brutal 5-degree temperatures and biting winds. Well, it did… at first. Then, everything changed.
I kept my Camelbak snug under my jacket, stopping to gulp down some fuel through the big opening. But guess what? Even next to my body heat, the hose froze solid! It was frigid, folks. Like, teeth-chattering, finger-numbing kind of cold.
So, yeah, Carbo Rocket freezes. Lesson learned: pack insulation for your hydration system on arctic-level rides. But hey, even frozen adventures make for good stories, right? And you know what? This 5.5-hour epic, frozen Camelbak and all, just fueled my fire for the season ahead. Bring on the Solo World Championships!
