last, i have no scenery here just outside of toronto, and how can i train hill wise? i dont think that theres not too many hills that would be a good workout to ride up on.
thanks alot -PatW- i appreciate it.
yes, you should be able to mount a water bottle holder to your bike. in the picture below, you'll see 2 spots where you can mount water bottles.. look above the crank/pedals and on each tube that comes up from that bottom bracket you'll see 2 bolts, that's where you mount your bottle cages. you can probably get away with 1 bottle for shorter rides, but you might as well go ahead and mount 2 while you're at it. it's better to have more water than you need on a ride than not enough. i've fallen victim to heat exhaustion twice and it is NOT pleasant. there's a fine line between heat exhaustion and heat stroke... a 23-year-old motocross rider recently died after passing out during a race due to a heat stroke.
