Two. I'll sometimes add a third for long training rides if I'm concerned about not being able to find a store to refill at.

Is five too many? It seems excessive, but it's your choice. There's no reason to race with that many.

For long training rides (like IM ones), two bottles plus aerobottle.

When I train I try to bring enough for 40 miles..so I have aerobottle that is almost 2 and 2 on my bike.

When I race an IM I know there are aid stations every 10 miles so I started with maybe 2/3 bottle of Gatorade and 10 oz of water as you need to do some climbing at the start of LP course. I picked up a bottle at the first aid station but I'd rather not lug up extra weight up the hills.
