[QUOTE="rodH, post: 1066157, member: 63000"] GUYS, it may seem simple and trivial, but the best way to avoid this is to ride with a Camelback (or similar hyration system). I use to work at a Bicycle shop and was "sold" on camelbaks when me and my bro were on a Loooong ride, I just finished off my last waterbottle that was very warm and asked my bro for some water from his camelbak. It was still very cold. I was sold. 70-100 oz is a LOT of fluid!! Research indicates that it is probably best to use some sort of sports drink for electrolyte replacement, BUT also because you are more likely to drink something with some flavor than just plane water. I usually put 1 large bottle of Gatorade in and the rest water and ice. I actually end up taking a leak or 2 during a day of riding, even if it is hot, which means I am drinking plenty. I recently went on a ride with a buddy who had 2 bike water bottles in a fanny pack, kind of an awkward way to ride. The camelbak is easy to wear and even provides extra protection to your back (a LOT if MTB and road riders have some pretty awesome stories how it has saved their backs). I won't ride without mine anymore, I now have 2, one for light day rides with less room for tools, the other carries more water, tools, etc....I use this one for the all-day destination rides.
