    Elete Electrolyte Drops

    Today I came across this type of electrolyte replacement. Looks quite promising to me and much less expensive than the Shot Bloks. Check it out:

    Have you looked at the comparison chart on their website?
    I need the hard stuff.
    Plus I like watching the Nunn tabs fizz.

    The whole propylene glycol/antifreeze in nunn tabs freaks me out and I can't drink them.


    It does explain why you are so cold blooded, though

    Yes, I did check out the comparison chart (I like it. Kinda feel like I'm buying Progressive Insurance with the comparison chart.).

    Anyway, the Elete is all natural. That's a big selling point for me. A certain scientist that we know and love told me that Polyethylene Glycol found in Nuun is also in antifreeze. I think I'll pass on the antifreeze ...

    Heh.
    In the course of my lifetime that may be one of the least toxic substances I've ingested.

    Next time we meet up I'll bring you a small jar of pickled garlic (over 9 yrs. old) and a quart of Prestone to wash it down.

    Bring that Prestone in a mason jar and it'll be just like old times.

    So, I'm going for a fitting for a new bike purchase today, which means I will probably be out test riding a new bike. And it's freaking 90 degrees out there today. Of course this will happen in mid-afternoon when the sun is high.

    And then I will go back to work, all sweaty and disgusting.

    I was supposed to do this on Tuesday, when the weather was beautiful, but had to reschedule due to another freakish allergic response involving big patches of red, itchy skin.

    I hope the new bike is so fabulous that I don't notice the heat!!

    p.s. I'm looking at a Madone 4.5. The goal is a better fit than my current (aluminum) bike, but I might as well upgrade to carbon while I'm at it.

    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I hope you enjoy the ride. I rode the 5.1 and I'm planning on getting the 5.5.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I couldn't believe how much I sweated in such a short time!! I wound up testing a 2010 4.7 that is on sale. Going back tomorrow for a longer ride to see if I can live with a compact double instead of a triple.

    Predicted high tomorrow is "only" 86. It hit 99 today!!

    Stupid me went for her first ride in like two months today. 45 miles. On my surly with its fat tires. Which officially is a bike I'm selling, because OWW. The fact that it has flame stickers and I picked every part and built it myself and all that nostalgia is no reason to keep a bike that just doesn't fit right for long rides.

    But it was a fun ride. I forgot to take off my undies beneath my bike shorts 'cause I wasn't making good decisions today unfortunately, so OWWIES.

    For the last 17 miles it felt like alien monsters were trying to rip their heads out of my calves.

    *cough*

    Did you want to see a pic of my OWWIES from wearing undies under my bike shorts? 'cause I gotta say, that's the first time I've had a female request pics of that part of me
