I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have ridden pretty consistently for the last 3.5 years. Coming up on 15,000 miles during that time. I had it down to a science and didn't have off days right up until that last ride.

I haven't really gotten into the net carbs thing so far. Do you know how many actual carbs it has? And you eat any carbs prior to riding? I feel like there is a ratio I need on ride days, just need to get it figured out.

I understand. Cramping has not been an issue for me. I've only had them temporarily (like 5 minutes during a 65+ mile ride) that included around 4,000 ft of climb. Aside from that, I've never had them while riding the bike. Therefore, I've never used electrolytes while riding.

Thanks for the info.
