Headache after four hours in the saddle? Often it's simply not enough fluid. Water in your tank bag is at least as important on tour as your toolkit.
Drinking on tour

- Within reach: A bottle in the tank bag or a hydration pack.
- Know the warning signs: Take headaches, fatigue and concentration problems seriously.
