Yo peeps, As part of my training for my trip to Oregon, I have taken to riding off on wild jaunts for one day or so, this recent one was just around the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex a couple times as I grow used to the new bike, but I noticed that I felt like crap when I got home, classic dehydration for me. How do the long ridin people here keep from gettin dehydrated? I'm thinkin about buying and trying out one of those back pouches with the straw that bicyclists use, but other than that, I cannot think of anything that would keep me going that doesn't include stopping. Any other ideas or solutions? Thanks, DXK "December Seventh, 2001- a date which will pass unnoticed- Absolutely nothing of interest happened." -DXK

Easy to dehydrate here in Tucson. It's a million degrees here today and it's a dry heat. I always carry a Camelbak filled with icy water in my tankbag, the drinking tube velcrowed to the top of the bag. It's an easy task to drink while riding. Most of my riding buddies also use them (or a similar brand), carry them in jacket pockets or strapped to their backs , etc. Oh it's so nice to have a cool drink in the blazing heat.

If I'm doing long rides in the heat (like the desert) I'll hose-clamp a couple of bicycle water-bottle mounts on my bike. These are cheaper than the Camelback and similar systems. Some of the bottles have holes that accommodate a long piece of clear hose perfectly. Otherwise I hog out the hole in the cap. The night before the ride I refrigerate one bottle and freeze the other. When I get up in the morning, I transfer the refrigerated one to the freezer so it's jjust icy when I leave. I use the refrigerated one first, and by the time it's done, the heat has usually melted the ice in the other. The bottles are cheap to replace if lost of damage and some brands of bottled water fit in the holders.

Camelback works for me, had it for years, no problems. Just my .02 worth Marshall in Afton, Ok

I would go with Scott Summers. Camelbak is a little too friendly with the nature cults. Besides, Scott is a nine time national off-road champion. He knows a thing or two about off-road riding, and sells only high quality products. http://www.srcinc.net/vital.html Russel'r -----Original Message----- From: Susan Moorhead [SMTP:hooligan@...] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 4:17 PM To: rhipkiss@...

Hey Russel'r, What is a "nature cult"? Just curious, Geoff

When I used to ride a bicycle I would do sort of the same thing, except that I would place both of the bottles in old socks and then wet them, as the water evaporates off the socks the bottles stay even colder, it wouldn't be unusual to have bits of ice in the bottles after 4 hours on a 90 degree day.

I hate having things on my back when I ride but I faced the same problem. I went to Sports Chalet and bought a camelbak Flashflo. The cool thing about this model is that it's a fanny pack. It holds 45oz of fluid. Cost about 40 bucks. As a bonus, it's large enough to fit the, uh, ample waisted.

It's probably not as cool as sucking a camel or blowing a seal, but I just saw a water back pack at Wally-World for $14.95 that looked like it would work as well as a portable cow's udder. 'Course, I've never even seen one of these hydrator things before, so I can't really critique it. -- bierdo Mark Cheramy wrote:
