I did a hot hot ride a couple days ago. I was out of my usual electrolyte mix (Clif Shot lemonade) and just took water, Clif Shot Blox, and a bottle of orange flavored juice stuff.

I was sooooo miserable! My body couldn't keep up, I got pretty dehydrated, felt sick, sad, and pathetic. Drank more water after I got home, but that wasn't enough. Woke up the next morning feeling exactly like I had a hangover. Drink drink drink and eating salty stuff all morning helped.

Went out and bought two huge jars of Clif Shot Electrolyte Lemonade. Ain't gonna run out of that again, no sir!

When you find something that works for you, dang, it's priceless!
