East Texas is justly famous for its heat and humidity.

In the hot months I try to ride between 0600 and 0800. From 1000 to 1700 it is not fit here for man nor beast.

I have more endurance and feel generally better when I add half teaspoon of Morton Lite Salt to my 60 oz hydropack.

p 273 "Let's eat right to keep fit" by Adelle Davis

"People who salt food lightly should add 3,000 mg sodium to a day's dietary, and those who enjoy well-salted food 7,000 mg. Normally the intake of potassium should be approx the same as that of sodium, and calcium intake should be 2/3 or more that of phosphoros."
