you have to get used to the heat! i'm horrible in the cold... but i love the heat! yesterday when i left for my ride it was 108 degrees! i loved it! gorgeous day! i always take 2 bottles though.... i use polar bottles (insulated) and fill them with ice cubes.. then water.... i also use a camel back when going on longer rides.... and if needed.... i can put bottles in my handlebar bag (2 propel bottles fit nicely!) yesterday in addition to the 2 water bottles... i took a propel bottle and filled it with lemonade.... (cuz i felt like lemonade!)

i don't normally have gatorade unless i'm doing a long ride (as in centuries)... water is enough for me... but i know each person is different....

you must have a teeny tiny frame! mine is a 48 and i have 2 side entry cages... i did need to switch to side entry in order to use 2.... and my polar bottles are also the tall ones!

since you can only put one cage... i highly recommend a camel back! they are very comfy! i was surprised! oh... and a tip i got from another rider... when you get done drinking... blow the water back into so that the water doesn't sit in the "straw" thingy and get hot (he saw me taking the first sip each time and spitting it out... and informed me of the really neat trick of blowing it back in... so now i just blow bubbles and ALL my water is cold!

OH... and for the camel back... again... i fill the bladder with ice cubes.. then with refrigerated water... even here in the desert... it stays cold a LONG time!

and one more tip... when i take the camelback and water bottles... i drink the water bottles first cuz they get warmer faster... then when they are gone... switch to the CB!
