It's a good reminder from @tntyz and @GlennR that you're allowed to ride a figure 8 and stop midway at home for more water. No rule against that.

For a lot of people, a great thing about bikes is how they can take you out of your neighborhood and bring you through places you don't see every day. So it's good to try other options too. If you drive to ride somewhere else, you can leave water in your car. A double walled vacuum insulated water bottle will keep it icy cold in your car on a hot day. (I heard about one surviving a car fire and still having ice in it.)

If you're riding in the boonies, a Sawyer Mini will make creek water safe from bacteria, not agricultural runoff though. I've filled my bottles from nature this way.

When you get home somewhat dehydrated, make up for it quickly, and know that popsicles are a delicious treat.
