I just buy water bottles. Usually the Sport bottles and throw then away after the ride. I didn't like the taste of plastic in the cheaper bottles, plus cleaning is eliminated. Admittedly, my after work rides are only in the 10 to 14 mile range. So many of you that ride further may required more bottles than I do. But on weekends when the mileage increases to the 25 to 40+ range, two bottles in the freezer works. If it is a long ride or I need more water, there is always a gas station or deli that I can buy more water. BTW: my A1C is climbing up, so I do drink water and not a sugar drink. But most stores do carry Gatorade too.
