In 2020 when even the parks had the water turned off I resorted to using a 70oz Camelbak on the road when it was over 100. I tried the bottle in the back pocket, couldn't stand it. I put on a handle bar bag and put 2 bottles in there but I couldn't get comfortable with the way it affected the steering feel and the bag took away some of my hand position. I could never use a bottle launcher (seat post cage) because it would interfere with my badonkadonk.
