ohhhh Sadiekate... I'll have to try that! Thanks!!
Oh and my newest drink option is Nuun tablets. I started out using them on my longer training rides for when I knew I would run out of my cyto/carbo pro cocktail. They were easy to carry and would get me through the last few miles if needed. Well now I use them on my shorter rides/runs. Anything 2 hours or less. They don't have the uneeded sugar or calories- just the electrolytes my salt starved desert dwelling body needs. It's so dry out here that I pretty much always need to watch the electrolytes. Plus I'm a salty sweater... ( I picture a sweater hanging in a store window with salt shakers all over it when I say that. hee hee )....
