I guess the other posters are too busy talking about drugs and Landis to reply Depending on where you live (climate) and how long you ride, you may be fine with only 2 bottles of water, but if you're not simply carry some money (back pocket or a wedgie pack under your seat) and stop by a store to replenish. Some people have an attachment to their seatpost that carries 1 or 2 extra bottles, but I think the corner store along your route is the better option. Bars and gels are popular (Powerbar, Clif, etc.), but people have many things they can bring with them for energy. Search the threads and you'll fine lots of information on this (just avoid the 'Grand Tours'...aka doping...forum. |

I noticed an link to something similar from Hammer nutrition a while ago. Maybe do a search for hammer, or check their site, it was very informative. |
