"Balancing your pH level" is total hooey.

along with the Food Babe and Modern Alternative Mama, Kangen Water is one of the world's greatest sources of idiocy.

I was under the impression that drinking enough high ph water gives you diarrhea... (cuz it kills the bacteria in your pipes)

Instead of drinking alkaline water, just eat hot peppers before riding. Capsaicin (an alkaline oil found in hot peppers) will not only boost the pH higher than Kangen does, but it is also a vasodilator which helps circulation. Be sure to eat enough to get the therapeutic effect...

“You can’t change your body’s pH, sir – if your pH changes, you’ll die,” I explained, in my most reassuring pharmacist voice.

This thread is entertaining and has a good beat. I'll give it an 85.

Not to mention that 22mi is a moderate time trial length and not long enough to really need hydration or risk "bonking" of any type.

I have a friend with a PHd in Hydrology from MIT...he laughed so hard that he blew his homemade beer out of his nose when he read this post.
I like to mix Pellegrino in with one of my bottles of drinking water... That added bit of mineral taste does wonders when you're really working. It's cheaper, give it a shot...
Good post OP, good question... a lot of voodoo out there.

It never ceases to amaze me what kind of idiotic things written in jest are taken as serious comments. It says something about the level of common sense here.
Protip to everyone out there: when someone suggests a solution that is obviously moronic and/or needlessly painful (especially following a post warning about water contaminated with "dihydrogen monoxide"), they're not serious -- not even in the 41.
Be safe out there, everyone -- hydration is important. Also, to reduce the risk of deadly bacterial infections entering through your scalp, be sure to toss your helmet in the washing machine after every ride.

Giro Air Attack Shield helmets have those magnets around the temple and forehead. Aren't magnets supposed to do some special *****?

This is the 41, so the confusion is understandable. There have been times when I assumed people were saying the dumbest things they could come up with for a bit of comic relief only to learn later that they were serious. Which is actually funnier when you get right down to it.
