Kool-Aid and Pepsi works for me, need to keep that spare tire inflated somehow!

I once accidently squirted sunscreen into my water bottle in a moment of oxygen-deprived stupidity at a rest stop on an organised ride once. Does that count?

1 tea spoon table sugar

1/2 tea spoon salt

1/4 tea spoon Mortons no salt, KCl

Little Kook Aid to taste in one water bottle.

Drank a 50/50 glass of lemonade and gatorade today at a cook out tasted good. So far just H20 in the bottle but your giving me ideas.

One time I did half fill a camelback with gatorade and topped it off with water, worked out real well. Less sweat,sweet? (sugary) but still had lots of good stuff in it.

Isn't this the team that smells bad and does the short rides. :rolleyes:

I found that a 22oz bottle of hard pear cider fits right nice in my seat-tube bottle cage.
