Does that mean you'll stay seated for the whole 100 miles? I have to remember to shift to a harder gear and stand up occasionally on long very flat rides.

My Garmin is set with a 6-minute timer repeat for taking a drink. It's helped on hot days. I can't easily catch back up if I forget to drink enough. 20 minutes? I'd have to drink half a bottle if I waited that long!

On a really hot day, two bottles an hour isn't unusual. I plan the route for water stops. It's even nice to squirt a little water on arms and knees at times, too.
