Does anyone know if Propel "counts" for electrolyte replacement, or does it need to be Gatorade? I'm not a big fan of Gatorade, but Propel tastes mighty good to me in the middle of a long, hot ride. However, I did my second long ride today (34 miles -- I've only been at this for about two weeks) drinking water and Propel and by the last five miles I was bonking hard. Barely made it through those last two. I'm not sure if it was lack of electrolytes, not enough to eat (I had a bagel before I left the house but when I tried to eat a granola bar after about an hour-plus I found I just couldn't stomach eating anything), not enough water or just plain still need to work on my stamina.

Any suggestions appreciated.
