So there's a food/diet thread which has kind of touched on it, how about one on hydration?
Do you carry fluids (one holder or two), stop at combini, or rely on before/after once home?
Cyclist's water bottle, or just stuff a pet bottle in?
How about before/during/after riding--water or something else? 50/50 pocari/water?
(stories about faucet keys might help)
For a long ride, is it worth spending the previous day(s) hydrating? Or does it all just pass thru beyond a certain point?
I picked up a fire sale camelback pack a couple years ago, sans bladder, but have never bought a bladder to put in & try it. Does anyone use this or a comparable system? What kind of riding crosses over into "one of those is a good idea" territory?
Any special hydration do's or don't's? (from personal preferences to big no-no or yes-yes types of thing)? E.g., don't have any beer until you've _______.
