 Oh, GREAT idea about the ice in the water bottles. 
Makes tons of sense, I just never thought of it. I love getting new ideas to 
incorporate into my routine. Thanks a bunch! 
  
Where do you get those bandana tube things and what 
is their "real" name? How much do they cost generally? 
  
Thanks,

  Living in SoCal, I am an expert at trying to keep cool. And here in the 
  Inland Empire it is hot much of the year. We have seen above 100 lots already. 
  I use a bandana tube thing with that gel stuff inside that swells in water and 
  stays cool and wet all day. When it gets a little warm I turn it over so the 
  up side is now on my neck. Doing that keeps you pretty cool. Also I have taken 
  to buying all my tops at Nike and getting all the dri-weave stuff that wicks 
  moisture away. It helps quite a bit. And I freeze all my water bottles solid. 
  In about 15 minutes you can start drinking and they stay semi-frozen with ice 
  for about three hours. By the end of the ride they have melted, but at least 
  the water has been cold instead of warm all day.  Tiffany
