kjc9640, yes! there's another water bottle in the basket on back. I had stuffed some ice cubes in my main water bottle but they melted pretty fast. The neck ice actually lasted longer. I also tanked up on water before I left work. Electrolytes might be an issue though. I'm not currently doing anything about that. Googling for symptoms of electrolyte imbalance, it looks like the only one I could've had is muscle aches. And it was really mild. Still, I'm going to look into it.

ijen0311, lovely!

zzOtherlandzz, great pics! It is fun to see everyone else's scenery.

Today, I'm taking a break but will get in a little ride tomorrow to a class and then there's a ride afterwards so we'll see if I go on my first group ride. :-)
