Glad you were OK, that is some nasty stuff (heat exhaustion).
Have you ever tried a CamelBack? I tend to ride with one when it's that hot for 2 reasons:
1. the "always at your fingertips" drinkability causes me to drink more frequently, staying properly hydrated.
2. some of them hold a heck of a lot of water. I think mine is 2L. Huge.
I successfully rode through the heatwave this summer with that philosophy.
Coffee: I'm thinking as it gets colder, I'm going to add a 2nd cage and bring some coffee for sipping. I think the issue will be the sipping part. Great site posted above, though, lots to think about.
