Here in the subtropical 100% humidity environment, I would say 1 bottle per hour minimum no matter how hydrated you are and for me, any ride over 2hrs would include a NUUN tab in every other bottle. In this climate, you have to stay on top of your hydration. I found out the hard way on my first long summer ride that electrolytes are a must.
