Re: Fuel canister adapter???

My church congregation did a youth trip along the Erie canal, about a month

ago. Most of the boys dropped out after 100 miles or so, no big surprise.
As 
I remember, only one boy rode the whole length of the canal.

I hope your emergency adaptor serves, if needed in emergency. I'd sure 
prefer a more low to the ground assembly.

 son and I just did a bicycle tour from Buffalo to Albany, NY along
the Erie Canal.  450 miles.

Originally we brought along one medium size butane canister.  A couple
days into the trip it developed a valve leak and was gone.  The next day
we diverted 20 miles to a Bass Pro store.  There we bought another
medium size canister, and a tiny one for backup.

Two days later someone left a pannier pocket unzipped.  Apparently the
medium size canister fell out somewhere along the way.  We backtracked a
few miles but could not find it.

The tiny backup canister lasted a few days and we were unable to find
any more.  On the second to last day it was empty.  Staying in a hotel
on the last night negated this problem.  The fact was that we were out
of fuel.

Sure we could have cooked over a fire but that can be messy.  My new
adapter will prevent this in the future.
