Ok... I'm trying to develop comfort/confidence with reaching for and sipping from a water bottle while riding. Last year, I would wear a Camelbak on longer rides, but I would like to be able to easily reach for a bottle.
Over the winter while on the trainer, I tried to get reasonably comfortable with removing, sipping from, and replacing the bottle in its cage without looking. On the road, things are a bit different... bumpy roads, and traffic to contend with, etc.
What's the best way to learn this skill? Any tips? :confused:
Practice, practice, practice.
I find it easier for me to drink from the bottle on my downtube. When that is done, I switch with the bottle on my seattube.
