I use the Hammer Endurolight tablets on long hot days. I use 2/hr. They're
nice because they don't actually taste like anything, so you can basically
drink/eat whatever feels right anyway.
I also keep a backup supply of tums and mustard in my kit to squash any
cramps that pop up.

Pickle juice has saved me from gnarly cramps a few times. Reed turned me
onto those "Salt-Stick" capsules on a ride, and I bought a big jar. They
work better than pickles, and you can carry them on the bike. I've only had
cramps once in this hot spell, when I forgot the tabs. Highly
What the body creates for storing energy is called glycogen. A very cool
slideshow about it: http://slideplayer.com/slide/7451631/
It's easier to process carbs and sugars into glycogen than fats and
proteins into glycogen, but the molecule is a storage mode for energy that
can be tapped in
Stephen, yes, I've been known to ride around the countryside with my coffee

So, how does that work if you're in ketosis? Is that where the liver converting
protien to glucose comes in?

Andy, I looked at the link you provided, and Saltstick is sodium, potassium,
magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D. Is it assumed that you get the requisite
glucose from another source?

I like a cup of coffee before the weekly group ride, even if it gets hot or

Caffeine has it's appreciated benefits but it does that by constricting

You do have to have some glucose in an electrolyte/rehydration solution.
It's about the cellular level of respiration and moving electrolytes across
membranes.
Potassium is normally intracellular, sodium extracellular. By use of
energy, these ions are kept on opposite sides of a cell's outer

I've also used a product called "Zipfizz" sold at Costco and/or online.
Electrolytes plus lots of B vitamins.

Looks like this contains 1g of sugar (which is news to me, i thought it was
zero, maybe they changed their formula recently)? All the rest of these
things have sugar, cane sugar, stevia and/or caffeine (which I prefer to do
Thanks, Grant. I've got the book, and have been refreshing myself with
other parts of it lately. I'll look at these pages also. I like V8 better
than Gatorade anyway, so I like the direction this is heading.

I, too, drink coconut water for potassium. As for salt, I just sprinkle a
generous amount of salt on the two boiled eggs that I eat in the morning
before a ride. That might suffice? Then again, near the end of a hot and
steep ride a few weeks ago, when both of my hamstring muscles cramped at
p 83/84 of Just Ride -- a chapter harshly titled "Electrolytes for
Cheapskates and Dummies" suggests (detail not included here so I don't have
to type as much)--but basically, heavily diluted OJ + salt...or V-8/tomato
juice as it is (not the unsalted kind) , or coconut water/milk with salt.
I know that in Grant's book, he recommends tomato juice (at least I think
that's where I read it). It has the salt and you can get brands (Knudsen
and Trader Joe's) that don't add sugar and have relatively low carb content
(around 8–10g per 8oz). I've done one bottle of this and one bottle of
Hammer Endurolytes capsules.

Some people recommend dill pickle juice. Maybe that or dilute it down?
Sauerkraut juice?
(I've never tried it, but sounds not too bad.)
Good luck, Chris.
