I haven't done an XC race in FOREVER, and just wondering what the general consensus is on this. I know it probably depends on the course and all, and how much gear you're carrying.
I did the Sea Otter a while back, and they have a feed zone about halfway in where they hand up water bottles and energy drinks. I want to make sure I have all of the gear I need, but can probably carry everything like tube, CO2 and tools, in my jersey and a small seat bag.
The Firestone race (the other race I want to do) is 28 miles, and I don't think that they have a feed zone, so I'm thinking the CamelBak might be the hot ticket there.
I guess I want to make sure I have enough water and all, but I don't want to be overloaded with more than I need to carry.
I know for the short track, just probably 1 bottle at most, if that even.
Anyway, any thoughts/experiances? Heidi?
