You have to bring water or some other liquids with you, specially the ones with electrolytes. Everyday, your training tends to be different, so your water needs will vary too. Average amount of water goes around 3 ounces per kg of weight per hour, so you can calculate your basic need. However, is good to take some extra with you in case you feel more thirsty than usual.
You are right on this in the sense that the amount of water that is really. The thing is that while riding, there is excess sweat that is always coming out of the body which needs us to take enough water.
In my normal workout, I drink about 1 L of water after, plus around 250 ml during workout. When riding for longer rides, I can easily drink up to 2L.
That is normal since it is going to contribute to getting effective performance while you are riding as well as not getting tired easily as well. I always ride with enough water that will ensure that I get the best out of it.

True! So, the only way to know exactly what you need, is by measuring the amount daily when you go cycling. A good way, is by using bottles that show you the ounces/liters you put on it, and then you can calculate the average you need when you exercise.
Hey, great point! Measuring your hydration needs while mountain biking is key. Those bottles that show the ounces/liters are so handy for tracking. Gotta stay hydrated for those epic off-road trails! ♀️
