First Century & Flying Solo

[OakLeaf]

I try to take a sip of something every 5 minutes on long rides, but I get off track and never seem to drink enough.

One thing that helped me when I was first learning to hydrate properly, was to take a drink every time I thought about water. See a ditch by the side of the road? Drink. Wonder about whether you can swim well enough to do a triathlon? Drink. Hear "Proud Mary" coming out of someone's car radio (rollin' on the river)? Drink.

Kind of a back-door way of learning to listen to my body, but it worked for me, and now I don't even have to think about it.
