Tried a multi hour bottle for the first time today on a 4.5 hour ride. I set my Garmin alarm to go off every 10 mins and either took a sip of the bottle or a couple of Honey Stinger chews making sure to wash each one down with water. The difference in how I felt was phenomenal - thanks for all the advice people!

Exactly. I make a 3 hr bottle which means that I put 6 scoops of Infinit in the bottle, then fill with water. This bottle should be treated as nutrition only (meaning you get hydration another way). I have the bottle marked, with permanent marker, in 3 equal portions. The goal then is to finish each portion every hour. I then set my Garmin to alarm every 20 min and then drink ~1/3 of each section at a time. Chase with water. Super simple and easy to keep track of.

Thanks!  I wasn't sure if this was the case.  I'll try it out.
