Water is definitely enough for me--it's the only drink I ever take with me. My doc, who is a major cyclist and mountain climber, told me when I asked about this that she used to date a guy on the US Olympic team nutrition committee, and he said that if you eat foods like PB&J, water is absolutely enough. I've now done some VERY long rides this way (e.g., 206 miles in one day on a tandem in July) and have never bonked or gotten cramps yet. There are lots of others who swear by their sports drinks. So...whatever works for you.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
