I don't have any friends to ask they are all saying I should stay in. I just need a quick bit of advice then we can let the thread die, thanks!!!!!

I'm going to ride in an hour or so. It's 113 degrees right now.

I just had a 24oz bottle of water with Gu Brew. I plan to drink 3-4 more 24oz bottles before I go.

I carry two 24oz bottles on the bike.

Do you think this will be sufficient for a 1hr 20 mile ride? or should I stock up a little more?

It's possible to drink too much, you know.

So would that be too much?

Camelbak. Get a 2 liter Rogue.

Carry extra nutrition in it + an extra 70oz of drink + Elixir tablets for hydration.

great read (im not done yet.) That sounds scary though... I don't think I've ever drank enough water to do harm to myself.

You can sweat around 2l an hour. Thats 60oz.
For an hour:
20 before, 20 during, and a recovery drink.

When you pushing hard on a extremely hot, humid day you can sweat it out just about as fast as you can drink it.

I don't have any advice other than "choose a different color than black"

Don't forget to replenish electrolytes. I buy this stuff:

So your plan is to ride for an hour, and pee for an hour?

Win!

1 liter per hour is the usual MTB standard.
Don't know about RBing, but I'd see it as a good standard.

You should be fine with that much water over that short a period. I used to ride in 100+ temps in West Texas and generally, a bottle an hour is a good average.

The one thing to worry about out there is the dry heat - you are going to lose lots of water but not notice it. In the dry weather, sweat evaporates almost immediately, so it won't feel like you are sweating, even though you are.

In more humid climates, the sweat will stick to you longer.

Let your body be your guide. Go out and have some fun, take it a little easier, ride in the shade when you're able to, stop at every water fountain you pass, and maybe grab lunch midway through your ride in an air conditioned restaurant. Stop if you being to feel queasy. Sip constantly, drinking before you get thirsty.

Your friends need to HTFU.

A decent speed translates into a nice breeze.

Your stomach isnt big enough to fit that much fluid. Maybe if you started 4 hours ago.

There is no wind chill when the ambient temperature climbs above the body's internal temperature, and he is talking about 113 degrees. At that temp the faster you go, the faster you heat up! (in my experience that is)

there is wind chill if you stop for a while, and then get going. your sweat cools you.

at any rate. I got a little dehydration headache during the ride.

thanks for the input everyone.

your best way to be hydrated is plan ahead. drink plenty of water the night before, or at least a few hours before, to let your body absorb and store it properly. when you pee, if it's clear like water you're good. keep drinking water frequently, but not too much at a time. for work in hot conditions, about 16 ounces water every 1/2 hour and a Gatorade or Powerade every 2 hours works good for me.
