Something I have moved to is drinking Pedialyte on my rides. I retired to AZ last year and learned the hard way how quickly I can dehydrate here even though I don’t feel it like I did back in the humidity of TN. My PCP recommended Pedialyte or water with Nuum tablets, which I am just now experimenting with. I am not a long distance road ride rider but more rail to trail and casual road guy.
I am still leaning to be a better rider and working on what works for me and learning from everyone here.
