Yep. I do. Not all the time. Only if I know my pit-stops/breaks will be few and far between.

I do on longer rides but make sure you get one of those mouth piece covers or you'll get bits of dirt with your drink

My new tankbag/backpack has a spout and a carrying case for a CamelBak bladder but I haven't gotten one yet. Did you get the bladder, or the entire pack?

I bought the Mule pack, it has a little backpack, and a spot for an Mp3 player, and some zippers and things, along with the 100oz water sack.

I use my camelbak when I go on longer rides. Never had any problems with getting bits of dirt with my drink though.

When I commute to work, I take the bladder out and put my phone, wallet, work phone, glasses and some other random crap in there, works out good for me.

I get all of mine for FREE.

I think they go for $15-25 from your local sporting goods store. More for the fancy ones (can carry mp3 players and other junk).

I have one (desert cami, military issue) but I've never used it when riding. I dont see the point when you have to stop for gas every 2 hours anyways.

If you're going to but other stuff in there, get a 2nd bladder and use it, keep one for water only.
