1) Fill half your bottles with an electrolyte energy drink.
2) Eat more on longer rides... gels help me a lot. PB&J sandwiches on even longer rides.
3) Pop
endurolytes during the ride.

More potassium. Broccoli, dried apricots, bananas, and raw potatos (ranked in order of potassium per serving) have plenty of it and can be carried on rides.
