Default Riding With A Camelbak
Hey does anyone ride with a camelbak for water or gatorade on long hot rides.

Absolutely. I have a house in VA and one in AZ. When I take my desert and SW regaional rides, it is a must.&nbsp\\;

I have a way to bungee it on to my passenger seat if I am alone and run the tube up my back and over my shoulder. If I am two up, I can wear it like a backpack.

I fill it with as many ice cubes as possible and then water till it is full and seal it.

If I need to replenish my electrolytes, and quench my thirst I'll grab a gatorade when I am done for the day.

It is a must on my dirt bike, but I have yet to use it on my Heritage. I have a little cooler for the saddlebag that I keep drinks in.

Someone needs to invent a leather jacket with those bladders in them. That way you could keep hydrated, and look cool too.
