Amen brother! I've been severely dehydrated on a ride before and don't want that to happen again.

Just because it's cooler and you don't feel the sweat, you could still be losing significant fluid amounts from exhaling alone.

Weigh yourself before and after a ride. If you've lost more than 2 pounds, you probably are low on fluids. A rule of thumb is a pint = a pound.
