BTW - and I barely need to take a leak when I get home, that's how much I sweat out.
Yes, I'm in Texas. But I dont ride in the heat of the day due to my work schedule most of the time. And our local group rides arent a real high intensity. But in race conditions I will still only drink about 48oz for a 25 mile race. But I do get down about 20 before and then about another 48 or more afterwards. I tend to get sick at my stomach if I drink too much while riding. And usually dont have to P when I'm done either. And it is hotter than hell right now. Yesterday was the 1st day in a week below 100. It was 99 then back to 101 today. Thats why I'm here on this computer versus outside riding. LOL
