  • Weigh yourself before and after a ride (without drinking) to estimate fluid loss. Aim to replace about 80% (max) of this during your rides.[/quote]

Seems like she’s saying to do a ride without drinking anything, and weigh yourself before and after, in order to estimate a fluid loss rate, so you have a target for your consumption rate. Maybe an hour ride with no water is feasible for some people.
