Besides, who wants to look like a buffalo in spandex (as JoeOxfordCT so elegantly described it)

I have a Rocket, a Mule, and a TransAlp, I also carry up to 3 bottles on the bike. On summer rides I freeze Cytomax in Polar bottles and freeze 3/4 of a 100oz camelbak (usually the Mule), top all off in morning. With temperatures in the shade up to 105 and even the low 90s at 5000 ft, with humidity levels <20% and nothing but climbing for hours on end you can blow through a huge amount of water.
Winter time, I generally ride <45 miles with 1 bottle.

What's a convenience store? :D
