A few years ago I took a bike trip down through the New England states and ran into very hot weather. I didn't drink enough water either and became dehydrated at the end of the day. I was not thinking straight and woozy as you mentioned.
I didn't know what was wrong but got off the road ASAP and took in all the water I could hold.
I did the same thing back in '08 returning from HD's 105th anniversary. I remember getting off the bike, in hot weather, and sitting down in the shade trying to get my faculty's back... and I was less than 25 miles from home. Not fun. I had forgotten about that...

Thanks. We tend to forget, especially when we're in a hurry (which I was...) about the importance of being hydrated. It's different in a car...of course the water bottle is generally right in the cup holder. A bit differant and much more cumbersome on two wheels.
