I still haven't figured out how to bring more than one water bottle and some fruit with me, and to keep it cold. I don't have any racks on my back and for now am thinking of a backpack, but how uncomfortable will this be and will it slow me down? I'm planning a 40-60 mile ride in the next few days, and would like to have enough on me to not have to buy food or worry about water from point A to B.

I normally use a camelback for my longer rides. If you're at a trailhead with water and yours has gotten warm you can dump it and refill if needed. If you keep your fruit in close to the bladder it'll help keep your fruit cool as long as the water is cool.

Another trick: put ice in your Camelbak. It will eventually melt, and it stays cold.
