Was drinking Gatorade then switched to Skratch Labs "Secret Drink Mix". Better tasting and easier on the gut. And, Skratch doesn't have some of the added chemicals that Gatorade has. For rides under 2 hours - just water. Over that, then I use the drink mix. Post ride - choco milk if it's been a hard ride, otherwise water is fine. If it's been a really hard ride - then water with some fermented barley, hops and malt.
