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.
