Pickle brine can stop a cramp, but I don't believe it is known why. It
works for me, but it does not prevent cramps and I don't carry pickle brine
on bike rides.
I like the Clif Shot Blocks margarita flavor. 3x the sodium.

Yes carrying pickle brine probably isn't the most convenient though I
imagine you could drink it post ride and that could help, I'm inclined to
ingest a solution before, during and post ride. I forgot to mention I'm
going to try Coco hydro in the future as Ted Durant Milwaukee recommended
and
I like EFS - lots of electrolytes, mild flavors, not overly sweet tasting.
For more calories I mix it with Carbo-Pro. Skratch is pretty good as
well. Endurolytes if necessary. Antacids in a pinch. I don't restrict
calories; need them all on long brevets :-)

I don't cramp. Not even when I did the coast to coast tour. Always
assumed it to be a genetics thing.
If diet controls cramping, then I suggest animal free Mediterranean diet as
that's mine. Of course I do bonk every now and then. My body fat is low
and it is sometimes hard to keep
Okay thanks for all the information. Here's what I'm going to try, V-8
juice, Nunn tablets and or potassium tablets. I knew if I asked this group
I'd get the advice I was looking for. As a rule I like pickles and the
juice. Again much thanks, and happy riding.

Nunn, works for me, no sugar.
E-Load if you want some calories, has a little flavor to it.
It has some sugar in it.
Has anyone used SuperStarch ?, gets you carbs without the sugar.

Water and sodium loss (sweat) are the most common cause of leg cramps in
cyclists here is a good
article: http://www.medicinenet.com/muscle_cramps/page2.htm
I have gotten them after long rides on hot days. Drink plenty of water and
intake salt. Salty foods or even something as simple as the
I second Hammer products. Cramps are indeed due to inadequate water and loss of
electrolytes. I've used both their pill form (for a 100 mile non-stop kayak
racesnd the training) and have switched to the the fizz tablet that dissolves
in water this year. Just add to your bladder or water bottle.
Excellent suggestion on pickle or sauerkraut juice. If possible, get the
fermented ones rathr than the vinegar ones. Much tastier, and the have more
of the good stuff. Coconut water is an excellent choice too. I'm a big fan
of real, whole foods whenever possible -- which is nearly always.

I'm a Nunn guy too.They are easy to use and have a pleasant taste..
Banana's really work well too, just a little more difficult to transport.

I keep this very simple. I have suffered from leg cramps my entire life
and come from a family where they are endemic. I simply take potassium
tablets. In hot weather more, maybe one or two before a ride and two to
four after, along with salty food. I don't do super long rides any more
but
Strawberries and bananas are also high in potassium. If you're riding along
the coast of California, don't neglect to stop at a strawberry farm and get
a delicious basket of strawberries. They're in season for a long time.

I usually take Grant's nutritional advice with a great of salt (you like
what I did there?) but I remember reading somewhere maybe it was from his
book about water-downed orange juice as a great electrolyte replacement.
Not really sugarless, but it is a really cheap electrolyte supplement.

taste very good.

On a completely different note than those of other posters, I have found
that if I take a couple of tablets of pantothenic acid after a long
climbing ride, I don't get the excruciating killer lock-up
cramps (typically of the adductors) when lying bed that night.
Here is data in support of
Homemade bone broth as part of your diet, daily or at least a few times a
week. Amazing stuff. Boil (grass fed) bones for 4-24 hours with a splash of
vinegar, strain, add chilies, onions, spices etc to taste (or nothing at
all) and have a cup. When done right, it gels in the fridge.

Another great source of potassium (and sodium) is V-8 juice or Garden Patch
from Trader Joe's..
Eight ounces of Garden Patch has about 16% of the MDR (similar to a bottle
of milk from a young coconut - aka coconut water) Lots more vitamin C and
other desirable nutrients as well.
