> I ride in the Siskiyou Mountains here in Southern Oregon

What I recall most vividly about that area is WIND: strong, relentless,
northerly wind.

What time of year were you here?

Actually, summer weather is desert like, dry and hot. Winter weather is very
wet (75" of rain in about 7 months at my place). This, combined with a
unique geologic history, make it a huge depository of rare plants. Cycling
in the mountains is a constant treat of unusual flora. Come visit!

You can get a mount to put two bottle cages behind the saddle. They
make them to clamp to the seatpost and to the saddle rails; you
might be able to make both fit (unlikely), for a total of four
bottles behind the saddle.

Get bigger bottles -- [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
for example, 32 oz bottle that fits in regular bottle cage.
