I forget how many water bottles I drank during the hot mountain century I did last year--I think it was 10 or so. The most I've ever drunk in a day. I just kept forcing it down because I knew it would be cramp-o-rama if I didn't.
My stomach growls just thinking about it.

little correction
pavement = sidewalk. foot path isn't used as widely and tends to be for designated paths across countryside so you know you are not trespassing on land.
motorway = Freeway (maybe it is same as Highway). Basically the biggest roads
group ride=group ride
you might still see rear mech front mech meaning the gears. knickers...same as american in cycling but in general language knickers = panties.

so true. i nearly wrote "fastest roads" but "biggest" is probably more accurate with parking lots like that.

The PBK eMail is somewhat more pleasant than "your order has shipped" albeit somewhat verbose.
"We would like to thank you for your recent order #XXXXXX and let you know your
goods have now been despatched from our warehouse and should be with you
shortly."
