Dehydrated from commuting

I have been doing longer bike rides (just for fun) of about 2 to 3 hours and I realized that I was cramping up about an hour into the ride. It was the damndest thing cause I thought I was doing so well with biking. It turns out that I had just been sweating more from biking around town and not keeping a water bottle with me to stay hydrated.

I started drinking and now I'm feeling a lot better and an added bonus I'm loosing weight again. Anyone else had a problem with getting dehydrated just from the commute? I live 2 miles from campus in the mountains so it doesn't seem like it would be as bad as I let it get (although I also bike to get groceries and to see friends or whatever).
