When I do long rides on hot summer days I bring Power Gel. It has lots of sodium. I think Gu Roctane also has a decent amount of sodium.
I was wondering this too. How do you know?

I get very little added sodium in my food, but I've never noticed any ill effects. Of course, it's cold and rainy and I'm not doing any long rides right now, so it probably doesn't matter for me all that much. I suppose if I were doing long bouts of exercise, I'd supplement with some type of electrolyte during the activity as necessary.
