If you like a water/Gatorade mixture in your bottles, it's really nice to have a 3rd bottle with just water for those times you need to pour water on your head and onto your jersey. A mixture of water and Gatorade really doesn't do nearly as well for that! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
