How much to drink the night before a ride?
I realized after my ride in Davis with SadieKate et al, that I probably didint drink enoug the night before. So as a rule, if you're planning a ride, how much should I drink the night before to help with adequate hydration the next moring? It's assumed that I'll drink some when I get up and that I'll drink during my ride.
only on TE do we debate this ;-)

I'm confused. :confused: I have been told that if you do NOT get up at night to pee, it's likely that you're dehydrated. :confused:
I was amazed at what I ate yesterday
I had oatmeal and a banana for breakfast, and then ate a cliff bar right before we set off, with a good glug or three of vitamin "energy" water and drank throughout the ride. When we got to Mill Valley I inhaled a big glass of orange juice and wolfed down a big piece of quiche.. Then ate a big lunch when I got home.
I like this eating thing! But I gotta get better at eating enough before I set out. So much learn...but it's fun.
