That wouldn't work with my eating schedule. I'd hate to stop every 15 minutes, which is when I eat. Ruby, everyone is different so it might take a few rides or more to figure out what works best for you.

Hydration packs are hot in the summer, but if you freeze them, they are great on your back on a hot, hot day.
