Hi Ted, I have been using Nuun and Camelbak Elixir with good results. Both contain no sugar and have good taste. Nuun pink lemonade is somewhat light and pleasant tasting and is one of my favorites. I also use the fruit punch and cola flavors. Cola has some caffeine in it so I tend to use it only on longer rides and somewhat sparingly.
On rides greater than 60 miles, I also use Hammer Perpetuem with some added endurolytes powder and a bit of Hammer Gel for flavoring. Alternating the Nuun/CB Elixir with the Perpetuem mix really keeps my tendency as dehydration and cramping at bay. It works for me but my not work for others, Joe Joe Bartoe Synaptic Cycles Bicycle Rentals, Inc. email: j...@synapticcycles.com website: www.synapticcycles.com Twitter: @synapticcycles phone: 949-374-6079 Date: Sun, 5 May 2013 19:40:10 -0700 From: teddur...@gmail.com To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Re: Anyone have recommendations for a good Electrolyte solution. I was a Gatorade user but as I got to longer distances found that the sugar was intolerable. I just recently discovered Coco Hydro and have tried it on a couple of 200k's and it's worked great. The potassium-sodium ratio in coconut water is much higher than most other supplements, very close to the same as what we sweat out. In fact, the plain non-flavored versions tastes a bit like, ah, sweat. In a good way, of course!
