CamelBak TransAlp
The CamelBak TransAlp is essential for commuting through the city or pushing the limits during an adventure race. No matter the terrain, this pack keeps you hydrated and feeling good with 100oz water capacity (that's 3L)! A main overflow pocket is the perfect place to store a bike helmet, and an extra pair of shoes fits nicely in the side mesh pockets. Full-zip back panel access makes loading a full reservoir a snap, and its Air Mesh ventilating fabric keeps you cool and comfortable for hours while you maneuver around traffic or Mother Nature's obstacles. If it starts to rain, brandish the rain cover to keep things dry. This bag is top of the line.

Bought it again!
This is my second TransAlp since my first was stolen/lost. Given a second opportunity I went back to exactly the same pack. Plenty of room but not too bulky.
Camelbak Transalp
The ideal piece of kit of you want a bag that fits perfectly, carries the right amount of gear, and the contents remain dry in the worst rain. A great design for any mountain biker.
Bought as a gift
I bought this pack as a gift for my brother. He fell in love with it the minute he saw it. He is taking it with him all around Europe right now. It's durable and very comfortable.
Trans Alp!
I live in Vancouver BC, Where I comute every day, and it also rains every other day. Let me tell you that I spent about four weeks researching which Backpack would best fit my needs, and found that the Trans Alp by Camelbak is without a doubt the best product out there for any commuter, in any weather.
Nothing less
This pack is great, it can hold anything—I have NEVER been able to utilize all of its cargo space. I take it everywhere to do anything, camping, unicycling, trips to theme parks, vacations, mountain biking. This pack is very versatile and durable, it stands up to all of the falls I might take, and I love the rain cover—I couldn't settle for anything less.

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
