We're living at mountain bike races these days. Q and I set up our chairs in the "Feed Zone." Watching the high schoolers grab dump bottles or drink bottles is extremely entertaining - and extremely stressful for the coaches. In the pic - on the left are the coaches waiting with the "dump" or "drink" bottles. The Dump bottles are just open bike water bottles meant to take one big sip of water and then the riders "DUMP" the bottle of water over their heads and backs. It's meant to use as a short drink hydration and a major cooling down if the riders are hot. Riders also toss empty drink bottles and grab new drink bottles for their bikes. It's amazing to watch the handoffs. These teams are coordinated!
