I love my Camelbak filled with ice water and, for really long rides in high heat I will fill it with Heed. I know, I know, but it works for me and I spend a lot of time cleaning it. The newer bladders do allow my to get my hand all the way inside to clean it well.
Last summer I used a smaller 'bak plus two bottles on my bike, but still ran out on a couple of my longer rides. There aren't any stores, etc., where I go for my really long rides.
Today I used my new 100 ounce Camelbak to break it in, filled it about 75%. I found that I drank more now I am less concerned with running out. In the heat it is nice to have it full of ice water, and it take a long time to melt...

I have had some close calls like this and for that reason I have considered mounting one of those water bottle holders that mounts under the seat of my bike. It's a triathlon style water bottle holder but it looks pretty useful for adding extra water capacity. Not sure how to negotiate the seat bag though. Seems like maybe the bottle holder would have a place to put it???
