    Hmmm perhaps they should make olive juice flavor and while they are at it - throw in a bit of good vodka!

    How about margarita? Or lemon drop martini for Snap?

    Sorry, much as I love pickles, the thought of drinking pickle juice while riding makes my stomach turn. Although, the thought of peanut butter on a fully loaded cheeseburger sounded really gross, but turned out to be a good thing, imho.

    I was telling a woman I work with about getting leg cramps during a ride. Her suggestion was to drink pickle juice! There must be something to it, but I'd rather not try.

    I imagine it's the salt, but there's better ways to get that. Even a salt lick would be better than pickle juice.

    Magnesium supplements might be good for that. Of course the potassium is what your body is lacking, the magnesium helps with the muscles and nerves. I have a central nervous system disease and started taking magnesium for the cramps and restless leg syndrome.
