Thanks Charlie!

I think I drink a lot of water. Separate from cycling I just enjoy drinking lots of water. Although I feel like I wake up dehydrated and takes me a few hours to drink enough to be adequately hydrated. I have sometimes avoided morning rides because of this. On the ride itself I take a 22 oz. water bottle. I have a second cage on my seat tube, but because of my bike size and geometry I have trouble finding a water bottle that fits. So I end up either buying a gatorade or a second small bottle of water during my rides. But on a hot day I can drink all of that half way into my ride. I need to explore some additional options to bring more water. On days that I have not drank enough going into the ride I am thirsty from the very beginning and can quickly go through my water. I'll admit however that I have not made the effort to try to figure out my sweat rate to see if I am drinking enough.
