    The standard 2 bottles are not enough for a longer ride in hot weather, any ideas about practical ways to carry extra bottles?

    My jersey pockets are full, so that doesn’t work. Can you still suspend bottles from handlebars as per the good old days?

    I have an SKS adapter and
    I have an SKS adapter and bottle cage that clips easily and quickly on to the seat post. It’s only plastic but good for the hottest days when you want an extra bottle.

    Also, Minoura make an adapter that fits to the saddle rail. Bottle cages can then be fitted to the adapter. I think there are single and double versions.

    Alternatively, use bigger bottle SiS do some very cheap
    1 litre bottles.

    I prefer to stop and refill
    I prefer to stop and refill at a shop. 2 750ml bottles, stop after 50-60 miles and do 50 on 2 more bottles plus a good glug when I fill up. But there are a few options if you really can not stop. A transfill bottle holds around 1.5L I think. A racebak holds 2L. You can also mount bottles behind the saddle.

    Stop at pub/café and ask them to fill up your empty bottles? Isn’t that the most practical and traditional method?
