Hydration/storage for long rides...

Never mind...Google is my friend. And coincidentally it led me to a bunch of threads on here. I'm going with the TorHans 30. I used my USAT discount, plus the $20.00 saving code I got for renewing and ended up with a total savings of $31.00. Plus, I get to pick it up at the local TriSports so no shipping either.

It seems like the best setup for what I'm looking for...and according to TorHans, I'm even more aero

First four hours:  Small CamelBak, Bento Box with 2 whole Wheat Bagel Thins with 1/2 serving PB each cut up into two (~102 cals each), small bottle with 8 markings in pen covered over with tape to prevent smudging with 4 scoops Perpetuem.  Comes out to about 237.5 calories per hour for me.  I take the solid (and it's pretty much 100 calories of any solid I want, gels, bars, food, etc.), then at 20 minutes into the hour 1/4 serving Perpetuem, then at 4 minutes into the hour another 1/4 serving Perpetuem.

So the CamelBak, 1 water bottle, and Bento box for the first four hours.  I have another water bottle with water that I start into when I get into the fifth hour and I have gels into the Bento box, I like to switch over into only gels (at the top of the hour and at the middle of the hour) for longer rides and I have pill tubes with servings of a caloric drink of whatever I'm into at the moment (100 calories) to put into the water if I want to lay off solids/gels.

So two water bottles, a CamelBak, and a Bento Box get me through 6 hours.

The Torhans got bad reviews on Amazon by the way.

Do they have drive-through?

I use a Camelbak. Holds enough for anything.

I have 1 bottle between the bars and that's it.

For long rides I have another in my jersey, and a 7oz. flask of gel.

It's easy to refill the bottles at a park I pass (gas stations and garden hoses work too).  I also carry a $20 in my saddle bag if I needed some food at a gas station or 7-11.
