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 :-) There used to be three Performance stores in Portand, but they closed the one downtown -- the only one close to my work or home. So, reading that prescription, do I have to carry eight bottles for a four hour ride? Certainly so in hot weather. If you carry much less and have no re-fill options you could be causing damage to your body. ... Wow, I better start buying cages and hose clamps. Or I could just stop every hour and fill up my bottles -- assuming I needed all that fluid. Hmmmmmm. I need that much fluid when it's around 100F out there like right now. Yesterday's ride was only 20mi in hilly terrain and I consumed about 70oz of water plys 16oz of electrolyte. Ok, plus two pints at a brewpub :-) I did a 30 mile loop this afternoon -- nothing terrible because I'm expecting to get throttled by some friends tomorrow. Temperature was low-mid 80s -- blue skies, low wind. A gorgeous day. I went through one 21oz bottle, and there is still some water sloshing around in the bottle. Unless you rode really slowly that wasn't healthy even without much sun. ... A lot of the riding was under trees, so I wasn't taking a lot of direct sun. If I were in the bright sun, I'd drink more. And I'd have a better tan. It's hardly ever as low as 80F on my summer rides. Mostly because due to work I can't head out before 11:30am or so. On routes into the valley I can re-fill at schools, playgrounds, sport fields and such. So my road bike only has the two panniers which is good because it allows me to haul a box full of stuff or a package. Very different on the MTB and thus it now has the same two panniers plus a top trunk which can hold more than a 1/2 gallon extra. Similar to what longhaul dirt bike riders have, just smaller. It is tempting to drink from the American River and similar bodies of water but that can result in not getting off the pot for days. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

J, with the new expedition approach consider a Steripen with a micro filter for moose eggs

Yes, this also applies to Oregonians since they have a store in Portland :-) Your equation doesn't mention OAT which is critical to the body's water usage. If one were riding in the Mojave desert on the 4th of July your liquid requirement wouldn't be sufficient and if in Nome on Christmas day it would be overkill. It's not my equation, it is recommended by sports medicine guys and they know a thing or two about dehydration. I assume they calculated for heavy riding where you pump out close to as much as your body will give at the current weather conditions. Note they say "per hour", not "per xx miles". For example, in summer I need almost 1/2h longer for one of my 4h MTB loops because else I just start panting too much. In winter I ride faster and that makes me pant and sweat just as much, and consequently, drink just as much water. I'f I'd ride at the same slower speed in winter I'd need much less water and sometimes I do that. For example, when I just want to get out there to sit and think about a difficult engineering task. Then I also take less in fluids along. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

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! Cheers |

I did a bit over 100k yesterday and had to fill my 2 24oz water bottles at the midway point. Average speed was about 29k/h and it was a bit muggy but not excessively hot. Not much wind and probably 500m of ascent so not a particularly tough ride. 4 bottles was plenty. I can't imagine drinking twice that much liquid. Maybe if I was climbing in the Alps or something. |

After all, dehydration that they're talking about isn't from being out in the sun and wind but from riding at or near maximum effort. I am showing no deleterious effects from riding pretty long distances at moderate paces without much in the way of hydration. |
