I did a 7.5hrs alpine ride this year without a backpack. That proved that I really don't need one for riding unless there is something special going on like heading out on a picnic, photoshoot ride with DSLR or riding to fish.
I don't need a fanny pack for rides under 2hrs, but they work really well when you do need them. I happened to have some old ones from my hiking days and grabbing one + a 1L softbottle from MEC and my ride time expands by 2hrs.
Nice. :)
Glad to see Camelbak revise their hydro fanny. Do you know what happened to the Dakine hydro fanny. I've seen a lot f them on the trail, but can't find 'em on the Dakine website.
