Jay's a camel.

Not like Jobst. I fill up big bottles. I just don't take
more than two -- except on rare occasion. When selecting a
bike, I don't go into the store and ask for an '80s
Euro-sport bike with a rack so I can haul gallons of water on
a day ride.

Joerg has peculiar needs. I'm fine with a couple of bottle
bosses and 160mm brake rotors on a gravel bike. If I were
riding trails in the middle of nowhere, I might consider a
camel back or some other option, but I'm not. I'm never that
far from water on a day ride.

Most of my rides are 4-5h and I am a tall guy who is more at
the upper end of the water requirement scale. So there.

Yes, this also applies to Oregonians since they have a store
in Portland :-)

That's NUTS! They're teling you that you have to drink an 8
ounces cup (250 ml) of liquid every FIFTEEN minutes! That's if
you use the smaller 16 0unces capacity NOT the 24 ounces sizes. 2
x 16 = 32 ounces divided by 8 = 4 and 1 hour devided by 4 is 15
minutes. If you use two 24 ounces bottles you have 48 ounces
divided by 4 = 12 ounces evey fifteen minutes which is 1.5 cups
per quarter hour.

Gads at that rate for a 4 hour + ride you'd dang near need a
trailer just for your liquids!


Over 4-5h of hard MTB riding on a 95-100F day I find that 1-1/2
gallons of liquids is adequate. But not less than that. I could
have used more but that's all I had on the bike.

I have met plenty of people on trails who thought like you, that
this was ridiculous and all that. They did not look too well
healthwise and sometimes I gave them one of my bottles. In one case
almost all my water because the guy appeared close to heading
towards the eternal trails.

Someone on the verge of heat exhaustion or heat stroke is NOT going
to be able to exercise after drinking just one 16 ounces bottle of
water or energy drink. To give such a person water or energy drink
and then leave them is irresponsible.


Where did I write that I left them?
