Need another water bottle
In order to go greater distances, I need more water. Right now the mountain bike has 2 bottle cages, but they hold the smaller 20oz bottles. There is the possibility to attach another cage underneath the bottom tube, and it could hold a larger 24 or 27oz bottle. With another bottle, I can start riding 20 to 30 miles without having to stop to fill up.
Yes, I drink a lot of water on a ride. It’s what I became accustomed to, it keeps my body from cramping up.
MTB: distance 14.99 miles, average speed 13.6 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
