TDF Tip #11: Proper Hydration

Whether you prefer a water bottle or a hydration pack, make sure you pack some fluid whenever you’re heading out. Proper hydration is the difference between a happy ride and a fail.

A good rule of thumb is 2-3 ounces every 20 minutes.The best bottle cages are a practical way to carry water on your bike. You can nearly always find somewhere to refill along the way, and most coffee shops are happy to oblige for free.
