Subject: RE: Getting fluids on long training rides/runsFor the runs, just a Fuel Belt. If it's really hot, and the run is approaching 3 hours, plan on either multiple loops to refill at your starting point, or stopping at a convenience store. For biking, 2 frame cages, and a third bottle in a torpedo mount between the bars. Again, this is enough for about 3 hours, so plan on either multiple loops or convenience stores to refill. If loops or stops aren't an option, then adding two more bottles in a behind the saddle mount increases your capacity to 5 bottles. For most people, this will carry you through 3-6 hour rides, depending on the temperature and individual fluid needs. |
