port4.gifDon’t leave home without it!

If you know your going to be traveling and your even in question about the water quality pick yourself up so potable Aqua to mix up in it.

It treats up 25 quarts of water and kills off viruses.

Its very light weight as well you can slip into your pocket, make sure you read the directions and follow them!

There is nothing worse then getting stuck out on a hike or long bike and realizing that you are out of water.

Then you look to muddy creek water and realize that you either go without water or take a risk drinking it, both choices are poor ones.

This is a useful product for traveling as well as outdoor adventure.

Also Boulder is a great sports oriented town to hang out in for the weekend, you can hit up so climbing, kayaking and biking while you there for the race.

If you tired after the race, hit Pearl street for summer shopping and good eats.
