Being a New England transplant in Georgia I either had to learn how to deal with the heat or stay inside for 3 month a year. Well common sense prevailed and I am constantly out,mostly mt. biking, now.
I find myself constantly drinking either water or tea (I am in the south now) and when I am mt biking making sure I am well hydrated before I head out. I carry one bottle in the cage and a 100 oz. bladder with additional water in the car just in case. I am constanly sipping water every 10 or so minutes. Depending on the temp, this is enough water for at least 2 hours. This morning I did 12+ miles in 95 degree weather.
Another rule of thumb, PEE SHOULD BE CLEAR! This is a sure way to make sure you are hydrated. Learned that in the Army.
