I've read it a million times over, "when you're going to go for a long ride, make sure you drink lots of water throughout the day before you go"

When I do that i just pee more...where's all that water that I'm drinking supposed to be going besides out?

If it just causes you to pee more, then you are already hydrated to the point you will be fine as long as you continue to drink on the bike. No need to overdue it.

makes sense...thanks

So long as the liquid is clear. Yellow or dark brown is BAD.

it's just to make sure that you aren't starting a ride needing a drink. It's just good practice to pee clear (or near clear) all day, but it isn't necessary to be peeing like your trying to drain a keg.

You need to keep drinking. If you are NOT peeing you are not drinking enough. If you are hydrated well and peeing clear, just keep drinking small amounts of water throughout the day. Where is the water going? Your body is like 75% water--it is going all over your body: in your blood, your cells, etc.

You should be peeing every hour or so anyways if you're properly hydrated. Don't over drink though since you can pack on 10 pounds of water weight rather easily.
