I switched to my Gatorade bottle for the ride back and noticed the water bottle was still cool but not frozen.
When its hot and humid I drink a bottle of water, gatorade, etc. about every 10-12 miles.
Finish off the bottles and refill them at a water fountain, convenience store, etc more often. If theres no place to refill them get a 70 or 100 oz
Camelbak so you have plenty of fluids on your rides.
