Oh, GREAT idea about the ice in the water bottles.
Makes tons of sense, I just never thought of it. I love getting new ideas to
incorporate into my routine. Thanks a bunch!
Where do you get those bandana tube things and what
is their "real" name? How much do they cost generally?
Thanks,

Living in SoCal, I am an expert at trying to keep cool. And here in the
Inland Empire it is hot much of the year. We have seen above 100 lots already.
I use a bandana tube thing with that gel stuff inside that swells in water and
stays cool and wet all day. When it gets a little warm I turn it over so the
up side is now on my neck. Doing that keeps you pretty cool. Also I have taken
to buying all my tops at Nike and getting all the dri-weave stuff that wicks
moisture away. It helps quite a bit. And I freeze all my water bottles solid.
In about 15 minutes you can start drinking and they stay semi-frozen with ice
for about three hours. By the end of the ride they have melted, but at least
the water has been cold instead of warm all day. Tiffany
