Here Mike and Sandy drink water left for us by our support staff of Cycle America. Since we are in such desolate areas of the country as we tour, obtaining safe drinking water is critical for our personal health. We consume about 32 ounces of water an hour (one to two water bottles) and we cannot take the chance of getting dehydrated. Sandy and I use backpacks that have water tanks that hold as much as two water bottles with the benefit of having a tube that we can get water from easy. Cycle America leaves the containers for us every 15 to 25 miles and we are told where they will be each day. This is the road leading to the Badlands.
