Tip for a Hot Weather Ride
It's clear that Jobst doesn't ride on the back roads of Texas. It's also clear that I don't ride in death valley for good reason. You don't need to expose yourself to withering conditions to prove manliness. Even here in the SF Bay Area we don't ride over the local mountains like Mt. Hamilton in the 105F weather we have had the last few days, CamelBak or not. Jobst Brandt I didn't say anything about you proving your manliness. What I am saying is that it is impossible to ride on back roads in Texas AND expect to find a nice place to stop for water. Since I am in Texas, that's where I ride. And, I use a Camelbak for a good reason. Pat in TX |

Tip for a Hot Weather Ride
"Mike DeMicco" wrote in message Use a Camelbak and fill the bladder with ice and then water/sports drink. I did a 4 hr. ride today in hot conditions (90-100 deg. F). The water lasted almost the whole ride (3 miles to the end) and the water was cold right to the last. Why should you care if the water's cold? A cold drink when you're hot can cause one big painful headache. Cold or cool water is absorbed faster than hot water AND makes the person feel better right away. I took a water bottle along yesterday (to have something to squirt at dogs) and while the water in my CamelBak was still cold, I could have put a tea bag in the water bottle and made tea, it was that hot!
