Here in sunny Qld its starting warm up so I thought Id post my version of having cold water for the entire ride for those not familiar.
Half fill your Hydration pack bladder with your favourite mix
Blow up the bladder through the mouthpiece
Sit it flat in the freezer make sure there is no liquid around the outlet or the filler or in the tube (shouldn't be as you have pushed it all into the bladder)
Take it out of the freezer 5 mins (makes it easy to unscrew the filler) before topping it up with your favourite mix.
This also has the effect of stopping algae and nasties growing in your bladder, I also put a freezer bag over the mouth piece sealed with a elastic band not sure what this does other than make me feel good :dance:
Been doing this for years with no detrimental effect on the bladders .
If you live in TAS or ACT please disregard all this and fill it with hot soup
