    I put electroytes in the form of Elete (sp?) into my Camelbak. It's taste free and doesn't leave any sort of residue. Then I know I'm always covered in the hot weather.

    I called NUUN yesterday (they're in Seattle!) and asked them why NUUN doesn't have enough calcium to replenish what we use while riding (and sweating)
    I forwarded them the article in the NYTIMES about that.
    It's nice to deal with local companies!

    The link and a transcript are in this thread

    Mimi, I'd have to go back and read the article again.
    It may also have something to do with sweating and blood volume.
    How about taking along a roll of Tums for the calcium?
