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. http://www.performancebike.com/webap...HydrationGuide Quote: "Carry and consume one 16-24oz bottle of plain water, plus one extra 16-24oz bottle of an energy drink for each hour on the bike". 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 :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ 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. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ 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. Cheers Elite marathon runners, who average slightly over 20 kph for about two hours normally exceed the often stated "2% weight loss and you lose efficiency" figure. The usual figure mentioned by good marathoners is 7 - 8 Kg during a marathon. Haile Gebrselassie, world champion at the time, was weighed before and after he won Dubai in 2009 and lost 9.8% of his starting body weight. And, timing the top 1,200 top runners at the Boston Marathon, they actually run faster during the last ten miles then during the first. -- Cheers, John B. |
