I'm no tri-guy but it's 100+ degrees here and a 30+ mile ride might be 3 water bottles, not 2.
Convince me I don't need the water or give me a rec on what under the back seat water bottle holder is a good deal.

So, Garmin tells me it got to 113F on my ride today. If that happened, I am super human. But, I know the temp topped out this morning at 98F (hot enough). Where did Garmin come up with that?

Had a good ~80 mile ride with some of the guys. Beautiful weather for it, though a tad windy.
E-bikes were a theme. In the 100 yards that we were on a bike path, we witnessed an older guy go down hard, supposedly dislocating his shoulder. We stopped and helped and he had his wife come fetch him. Details are unclear, but it seems as if he crashed while avoiding a couple of my guys as they slowed to turn right at an intersection (with a stop sign for the trail users). I think that he was bombing along, full throttle; he said that he didn't think that my guys were going to stop/slow.
Myself and one other guy peeled off and rode back together. On one stretch, a guy on an e-bike, sitting in the draft of a Jeep, slipped by us. He lost the draft but kept up his effort and the assist, creak-creak-creaking along at a good clip. My friend and I traded pulls, tracked him down and dropped him. Forgot to give him the look.

Got pulled over just south of Brady (of course), TX. The cop was going the other way and pulled me over for speeding... 78 in a 70, with no radar gun, just an eyeball that I "looked fast" so he gave me a warning. Then he decided I was jittery while talking, and having said I came from Colorado probably had a bunch of weed on me and wanted to search the car. He was quite surprised that someone nervous at being pulled over was in fact a rather boring square.

There were about 1,000 riders at the event this morning, and I saw at least 100 ebikes.

If you told him no search because he didn’t have probable cause to search your car, he would not have pushed it. Driving back from Colorado is not probable cause. Should have said, let me call my lawyer and ask him. That would have likely ended it.
