I was given a Camelback by my sister-in-law and after using it one time it hangs in a closet for more than a decade. I too did not like the taste of plastic common with these packs. My water bottle cage holds a 20 oz Gatorade bottle. I live in an area with enough parks so I can refill the bottle well before I need to.
Yeah, that's probably the best idea. It's a bit harder for me to find refill spots in my area, and my arthritis makes a water bottle challenging. A bit of lemon solves the taste issue. Also, putting a few tools and tubes in the Camelback ensures I have the needed tools no matter which bike I ride.

Thanks for the idea!
