Don't know about you, but I've heard a
lot of horror stories about organized rides running out of food and water, not having enough food/water stops, not having acceptable nutrition, etc. While I wouldn't want to overload myself on a long ride, I also wouldn't depend entirely on the ride organizers to keep me supplied with food and drink. I'm comfortable riding with a Camelbak, so I usually fill mine with my favorite sports drink and take it on longer rides even if it isn't the cool thing to do. I'll also stuff a few extra food bars in my jersey or the Camelbak.
