Gatorade alternatives? Salt on a ride?

[michelem]

I use Accelerade on most of my training rides. If it's hot, if I'm climbing, or if I know I'm going to be out for a long ride, I'll bring along Motortabs or electrolyte caps.

Brandy,

If you like Accelerade, you might want to check out the REI Outlet. Right now they have it on super-duper discount (around 42 cents/serving):

If you have them send it to the store for pick-up, you can save the shipping costs as well.

Unfortunately, for me, I've found that I don't tolerate it well. So, if anyone wants an opened jar with about 20 servings left, let me know and you can have it for the cost of shipping!
