check your backpack!
in frustration of not being able to find a set of magura brake pads for the enduro, i decided to have a good clean out of all the pockets of my camelback. the one in question is a mule so it has a fair few pockets and compartments within the pockets. within two minutes i'd emptied various zip lock bags and pulled out many sticky gu and powerbar wrappers. low and behold i had a massive amount of folded bank notes and about half a kilo of gold and silver coins. the total....$111.90 BINGO!!! enough to buy a couple of sets of pads and enough change for some refreshing alcoholic beverages!
so you lazy kids, check your packs, you never know what you'll find!

In my case it was old GU wrappers with some interesting colours growing on them, and some - urrgh! - banana skins, a couple of small bank notes and some shrapnel (coins). Nothing quite so interesting, unfortunately.
Your mule must have weighed a ton!
Hi Gazza
If you are in urgent need of some Magura Marta pads give me a holler as I have some spare from a recent bulk buy.
===================
Happiness is a warm shock.
Mate - don't you remember that's stuff is mine - I asked you to carry it for me few rides back and then forgot about it. Doh!
Drop it round any time. Cheers!
keepers rob!
Gazza the reason you never found it was because the last time you used your Camelbak was probably when you last rode a MTB which was probably the Dirtworks
how wrong you are mate! i just havn't been doing much on the social kind of rides. its about time i came out for a spin and a chat. the night rides are too late for me though. i'll keep an eye on posted rides.
