What to Eat on a Century Ride?

[OakLeaf]

I second the use of electrolyte capsules for gym training as well. These days, probably because of the low humidity ( abnormally low for this time of year in this area) even though I am drinking like a fish (water, more water, and still more water) I seem to be cramping up at the drop of a squat. I have been taking the electrolyte tablets and they help.

Is it possible you're drinking too much water? Have you done before/after weighing? I've read that weight gain during an event is the #1 predictor of hyponatremia.

Balancing hydration and sodium intake is a huge issue for me, too, but the weigh-ins at least give me a clue whether I'm hydrating properly.
