  • Stopping for fluids- best strategy for dealing with the heat is carrying a camelback bladder in your frame bag, fill it with ice and water (gratis from fast food outlets). Have the hose running out of the frame bag and suck it like you did your mums teat.
    Be sure to blow the water back into the bag after each suck, that ensures there's no water in the hose to heat up.

  • Never bothered blowing the water back - it makes the cool stuff taste that much nicer :)
    Not a bad idea though. Ice is good call too. Will see how hot everything gets in the frame bag, but I'm not counting on ice so will deal with whatever I find.
