I tend to check out the discount bike and hike online places for hydration
packs--I got my Camelbak Mule for $35 during a Bike Nashbar Valentines day
sale. I know that Price Point has Blackburn Hydrapaks for as little at $20
(70 oz). If it's not too hot out, or I'm riding easy terrain, I'll often
just wear the bum bag with 2 bottle holders.
