that CamelBak is the way to go, and being geeks as well
as engineering students, the natural conclusion would
be to buy an additional bladder, fill one with water
and one with sports drink, and mount a drinking tube on
each shoulder strap. Out of curiousity, has anyone ever
done this?

But I've heard its pretty crappy 😉

On long rides, I take a 100oz bladder filled with water and
a single bottle filled with strong sports drink (from powder
- I usually put in about 125% what you're supposed to).
Problem with sports drink in a bladder is that the taste
stays in there, as does the sugar - and evil growing stuff
loves that sugar.

I've got a friend who tapes the gel-pack things to the top
tube of his bike, rambo style I suppose... Anyway, he's then
got that carb fix whenever he needs it, and knows how much
he's got left.

I used to. I had a Camelbak model (the Narrow Guage) that
was designed to allow this- it had two separate sleeves
inside for bladders. In practice, I found that it was too
hard to keep the non-water bladder clean over the long run.
Now I do as described above and fill a bottle with sports
drink if I want any.

PS - I'm with the "water in the bak, gatorade in a
bottle" crew.

one thing that we've started doing on our really long "epic"
rides is to carry a backpacker's water filter. After AMB_ID,
when we were right along a river and running low, the light
bulb went off.

Around here we tape pancakes to our toptubes. Water in the
Camelbak and strawberry jam in a squeesy bottle.

I've taken two 100oz bladders on long rides before in my
Camelbak HAWG but not to drink out of at the same time. My
only thought would be that unless you secure the tubes well
it would be a real annoying to have TWO tubes flapping
around on you.
