Long Ride - Felt Yucky

[Zen]

Snickers satisfies, alright but not good to carry in heat

Personally, I cannot drink gatorade in any form at any time without experienceing stomach ache and vague nausea, so I ride with nunn tablets or tubes of FRS powder, one bottle of eithher nuun or FRS and one bottle of plain water frozen solid. As hot as it gets around here, the frozen bottle is usually melted by the time I've done 15 miles or the first hour, but is still marginally cool. I mix up a tube oftablet of stuuff and then stop to refill the first with plain water. I do like to keep one bottle of plain water so I can dump it over my head if it gets too hot.

Apropos of this, the most recent bicycling magazine had an article about the new training regimine for the team radio shack which includes ice pack made of panty hose stuffed down the jerseys.

Remeber to hydrate when in doubt and train into the heat gradually- start earlier, finish earlier, even if it means a shorter distance.

I find that a small ziploc bag filled with ice placed in the back pocket of my jersey is the BEST thing to cool me down fast on a hot day. Gives me instant shivers, in a good way. And since the bag is sealed you can just keep it there while the ice melts.
