Hydration - Recommendations
Hi, I’ve been riding with primarily water (& Gels). I used to go with Gatorade but gets gross when hot out. I’m re-thinking my options as I hit a wall going up a 3 mile 8 - 11% hill yesterday, I had to stop for a few minutes, which was midway through a 65 miles, 4.25 hour ride. Suspect I didn’t keep up with hydration and Gel / fuel as I also got bad leg cramps at the end of the ride. This doesn’t happen, a first!! Curious if there are hydration options that really work? Or other options? Appreciate any recommendations. Thx
