I have my own version of electrolyte replacement. Two Endurolyte caps, two Potassium + tabs, and three SportLegs caps. On long 'sport' rides, I take these every 4 hrs. Touring is not as physical usually, so every eight. (start and end). I do carry powdered energy drink mix though--I am not a fan of Gatorade or other 'sport drinks', so use Hammer Nutrition products. Do not find them in mini-marts.
