Looking at the ingredient on a package and it has sea salt. Nutrition facts say 40 mg sodium an electrolyte, but yes the rest is all sugar. For 100 km in the weather the OP is riding 40 mg of sodium an hour is plenty. He will make up the difference at dinner.

For you, yes ... because you've ridden a few 100K rides. But remember that the OP's longest ride is 50 km. Better to advise him to eat more rather than less ..... or we'll end up with the "Why Did I Bonk?" thread on Monday.
If we burn 500 calories per hour on a bicycle (for example, and keeping in mind that the OP will not likely be riding at race pace), consuming 250 calories per hour is not a bad goal to aim for. Also, those 250 calories per hour can come from both solid food and liquid nutrition. So, the sports drink of choice can be included in that total.

Did you ever pound up Mount Erie on Fidalgo? Now that's a ******* of a hill. It's 10 miles from me and on suffer days it's my place to play.The winters are kinda touch and go though.
My group has been out every saturday since January. Damn cold and wet a few of those days. I know... HTFU.

My last 100 mile day, I did 30 miles in the morning with my team, had some endurolytes and drank a bottle of heed.
Ate two protein bars on a break then didn't eat anything for the last 70.

I don't think you are qualified to say what it does or does not do for anyone else.
He may not ride long distances mindlessly every day but some of his ride report threads would beg to differ.
You better hurry up, you are 850 miles off-pace for your 20,000 mile goal this year.
So... I've done 100+ mile rides non=stop
