Was I. I had two litres attached to the handlebars which I removed just before because they enjoyed jumping out of my bike over relatively small bumps. In the end it was just 2.7 litres but I pretty much always carried an extra 2/3 bottles of coke or Fanta in my jersey or feed bags.
If I did it again I wouldn't faff about with all of that and I'd just join the camelback crew.

I liked your fear of dehydration set up!
I also have a bladder (urgh) now. Having 2 litres is great. But filling up is a bit less convenient.
Not that I ride anything as crazy. But at least the bike is ready. -
When I rode the Balkans in 2015 Montenegro was ridiculous hot - I had 2 x 710ml bottles, 1 x 2 litre bladder in frame bag and 1 or 2 2 litre bottles of water strapped to my front rack. Hydration is serious (and seriously heavy) business.

Who was it that had 6 liters or something water capacity last year?
I just hope everyone has enough to drink.
