Yes, don't want to wing it wrt resupply over there!
I tended to be over cautious and, a couple of times, I ended up chucking away water that I wouldn't use for another day. But I still got unconfortably thirsty a couple of times too.
But I got the impression that the off-road riding is mostly easier, unless you go looking for hills. Things like Rttr are much flatter than Europe, and Sarah says she went from complete novice off road to winning stuff in a couple of years / 1 ride.
