To all you Camelbak users out there, I strongly recommend that you purchase any and all cleaning accessories, especially the long brush for cleaning the tubing. Otherwise, you might find yourself the night before a race futilely boiling your reservoir, only to discover that boiling doesn't get rid of the mold, and does render the thumb-operated valve (and thus the entire system) completely useless. Another note - yes, the valve does disconnect from the tubing very easily, so that it can be washed separately. Boiling also renders the lid unable to spin freely inside its ring. I am now stalking reservoirs on eBay. It figures that the FlashFlo reservoir is unique to the FlashFlo system, and extremely hard to find, even at an authorized retailer.
Look for me tomorrow at the MJH 8K wearing a TNT shirt (thanks Mo) with "Max's Mom" written on it in Sharpie. My throat's still sore from last week's knock down drag out illness, but it's time to get back on that horse. Giddyup!
