I believe it would be wise to use one of those backpacks with water and straws. My doc told me that I had dehydration after the pink ribbon ride several weeks ago, just because I didn't keep my fluids up that day (and I thought vodka would have done the trick) 
*The ride can also be identified as the one where we all pulled over the side of the road at Mirboo North and near died of exhaustion! |
That was the first group ride I went on too. Found dehidration was a big concern aswell but as long as you keep your water level up you should be fine. Easiest way to tell iff you are hydrated correctly is your wee it should be clear and copious. Dark and small amount means dehydration but you will thirsty before then which is the first sign of dehydration.
