Showers Pass VelEau - Bicycle Hydration System
In the informational video Mark Proia introduces the VelEau 42. It's a brand new way to carry water on your bicycle. Available July, 2011. Available for presale May, 2011. MSRP $79.99.
-----
What if you could double your bike's water carrying capacity for those longer rides? Or what if you don't feel comfortable reaching down for a water bottle while hammering in a paceline? We've all been there. No one wants to hit the pavement because one rider in the group is looking down or fumbling for their water bottle. Races have been lost and riders have been injured by jettisoned water bottles.
NO BOTTLE CAGE - NO PROBLEM!
Many new full-suspension mountain bikes smooth out the bumps and save our backs but all that suspension hardware takes up space that was formerly occupied by bottle cage mounts. VelEau™ was invented by an engineer & cyclist who was preparing for the grueling 100 mile Cascade Creampuff MTB race -- in the middle of July. With only 1 bottle cage mount on his Ibis Mojo, he had the option of wearing a hot, restrictive hydration backpack for the 10+ hour ride or coming up with something better.
Safe, Easy Access
We designed VelEau with two patent-pending retractable magnetic reels that allow the rider to safely and easily access the bite valve. The reels use a tough 3-ply nylon parachute cord tested to over 180,000 cycles and two strong magnets to keep the tube from flopping around. Pull. Drink. Replace. It's that simple!
The All-in-One Solution
Your tools and nutrition will still have a home in the roomy storage pocket and your light can easily come along for the ride. The rugged outer pack boasts a sleek look and durable ratchet strap for getting it snugged tightly against the saddle. No need to carry a sweaty backpack or stuff your jersey with extra water bottles!
The Showers Pass® VelEau™ 42 is a unique, bicycle-mounted hydration system, designed specifically for mountain, road, triathlon, touring and recreational cycling. The VelEau Hydration System eliminates the need for a cumbersome backpack-style hydration pack; and is a safer and more easily accessible alternative to traditional down-tube mounted bottles.
More water, less hassle
VelEau™ was invented by an engineer and avid cyclist who, as he was preparing for a grueling 100-mile mountain bike race in the heat of summer, was faced with the choice between a single water bottle and a hot and sweaty hydration backpack. He decided to develop something better: 42 ounces of water, with the weight off his back. VelEau 42.
A revolutionary concept
The VelEau™ Hydration System fits securely under the saddle, and employs two patent-pending retractable reels to allow the rider safe, easy access to the hydration tube bite valve. The reels use a tough 3-ply nylon parachute cord, tested to over 180,000 cycles; and two superstrong magnets to automatically return the tube to its proper position. In short: a safer, easier solution. Weighs 16 oz.

American Triple-T video
Written by: Greg Kopecky Added: Tue May 21 2013
If you haven’t heard of Triple-T, you are missing out on something great. To call it “Grassroots” is an understatement. This “race” is actually four races. In three days. You might call it a triathlon stage race.
The format goes like this:
-Friday night: Sprint race
-Saturday morning: Olympic distance #1
-Saturday afternoon: Olympic distance #2
-Sunday morning: Half-iron
You do them all, and the cumulative time of all the races determines your finishing place. There is also an option to do only the half, for those without the {cough} cojones to try for the full event. The total mileage is almost identical to an Ironman, at about 140 miles. Note that the two Olympic races are actually slightly long, with run distances of 6.55 miles (the same course gets doubled for the Sunday race of 13.1 miles). All races feature a time-trial start, in groups of two or three participants.
There is a 2-person team option for Triple-T, which allows drafting on the bike (between only the two team members).
This was my first year at the event, and I dare say it was the most fun I’ve had at a triathlon. It is worth noting that – not only is it crazy to do four races in three days – but that all of these courses are incredibly difficult. The hills are relentless, and you should not expect PR times.
Please enjoy the following video recap and photos.
All on-the-bike video was taken with a Go Pro Hero 3 Silver, mounted between the aerobars (instructions on how to make the custom mount are linked at the bottom of this page). Off-the-bike video was taken with a Nikon D3100.
The American Triple T is put on by Shannon Kurek and HFP Racing. It takes place in beautiful Shawnee State Park.
The second Olympic distance race is in a mixed-up-order – bike, swim, run. Yes, that means that you must put your wetsuit on a sweaty body. The water was in the low-70’s, and I opted for a BlueSeventy swim skin instead of a wetsuit for this race (and was happy with the decision). This photo is of the time trial start:
Racers use the same run course for all four events.
The heartbreaker of the event was a camera malfunction that ended up losing a spectacular crash. During the first Olympic distance race, there is a particularly tight 180-degree hairpin turn that is known for crashes (despite warnings on the race website, in transition, and on the course). Another participant passed me going down this hill, and was about 75 yards ahead leading in to this turn. In the distance, I saw the trademark left-right shimmy of a locked up rear wheel, followed quickly by a full front flip into the woods. I slowed to a crawl as I approached to ask if he was okay, and was thankfully greeted by a laughing man standing up in the weeds. When going over my video footage that night, I was crushed to find out that my camera decided to turn itself off well before that corner (it had started the day with a full battery and empty memory card). My only record of the event is this photo of the ruined rear tire:
