I seem to consume way too much water on my rides. I used to go 25mi. on one 24oz bottle of water. Now since I got (2) cages and bottles I go through both bottles of water. I understand the tempature is now 30+ degrees hotter than when I first started riding, I don't know If I truly need water or if I need fuel.
I guess when I'm hurting and I am struggling to keep pace its just easier to reach for the bottle and take a sip, Its almost sub-conscious.
Im going to try mixing fuel with my water. Maybe this will help me from finishing my water source before I finish my rides.
