For over 20 years, I've maintained a policy of zero drinking before riding. Early experiments with even small amounts of alcohol resulted in cramping when riding. However, when you can quit riding anytime you like because you are on a stationary bike, there's no risk of getting stranded in the middle of nowhere.
I was having some cramping issues tonight which I've never had on a trainer before. Although I was drinking water while riding, I assumed this was due to slight dehydration. Tomorrow, I'll try the same workout before breakfast rather than after dinner and see if the results are different.
