	The biggest letdown to me about hot weather riding is to 
suffer the taste of lukewarm or hot water from my plastic water 
bottle.  But, there is a simple solution.

	Freeze the water bottle before going riding.  What you get
is slowly defrosted water that is ice-cold and doesn't taste like
plastic (too much).

	In my freezer is a whole array of water bottles filled
at different levels.  If the temperature is only going to be
75(F), then I take a bottle that is only 1/4 ice and fill it
with water.  If I'm starting at 7 in the morning and its 75(F),
then I take two bottles, both completely frozen.  

	Anytime someone tries my bottle, they're amazed at how I
got those ice cubes in that tiny hole.  Sigh......
