So what's in your bottle?

**LBTC** · 02-26-2005, 12:09 PM

mmmmmmmm red bull. right in the camelbak...cut with some water....
forget the sugar free....those sugar substitutes are way worse for ya!!
I take hydroxycut. everyday. usually one whole capsule each morning (it says not to exceed 9 so I think I"m safe!)

up here in Canada mountain dew doesn't have caffeine. In the states last summer I had a real mountain dew and then a red bull and I'd had my hydroxycut. needless to say, shopping was an entertaining experience for my friend and my husband.....hahahahaha

Namaste,

I tried my first Clif Shot today - one of the caffeine varieties! wheeeeee......after the first few minutes I was feeling pretty grand, after 10 mins I was thinking maybe I should take on that 1/2 centuary today, after 15 mins I was thinking 1/2 centuary is just waaaay to small a ride! Needless to say the logic kicked in and I settled for a metric 1/2 centuary! but I Gotta get me more of those!

Polar bottles go through the dishwasher beautifully, even the tops.

- ugh. Does anybody else run their bottles through the dishwasher? Hot soapy water did not cut it. I put in a pinch of bleach & that got rid of the stains. I have polar bottles - a few years old.

This is IT. Half a can of Monster Energy, a small scoop of HydroFuel, fill up the bottle and look out world! I blasted through my ride today, up hills, into headwinds, the whole thing. Only had to slow down when my legs were screaming "Get off me!!" Stairs, tomorrow, ought to be really fun (not!). I think I'll do an easy spinning class before work.

You can probably substitute Red Bull for Monster Energy. The best thing was - I didn't get an energy crash. And I'm very sensitive to sugar and caffeine.

Hey all you SF Bay Area and Sacto women- did you know that Cytomax is made in MY HOME TOWN?? That's right lil ol Benicia, CA.

I rode past the factory (smell that stuff cookin' Yum, Yum)twice today. If anyone is around on weekday (generally a Tuesday for me) and wants to come to Benicia (great food and great women cyclists

)let me know- We can go directly to the factory and get the stuff at a big discount. Besides, can you imagine a bunch of women cyclists riding up to the front door and invading that male chauv. space? The thought delights my mind!

Go to my name and you'll find all the info about me.

Here in hotter than hello California I like to freeze a bottle of grape gatoraide the night before, by the time I need it on the trail it's perfect! My favorite of all time canned drinks is Adrenaline Rush -tastes great, doesn't drop you like a rock. I've tried almost all of them ( my husband likes to buy them and try them out on me.) The rest taste like barf to me! Anyway just my 2 cents.

**snapdragen** · 03-24-2005, 08:09 PM

Sorry, I've had a rough day......

**spazzdog** · 03-24-2005, 08:20 PM

That's OK Snap... I can't put my favorite(s) in my bike bottle. Or can I?

Can you get a DUI on a bike? Hmmmmm... Never mind. I didn't really just think that.

**bounceswoosh** · 03-24-2005, 09:50 PM

Just water in my camelbak. On long rides I'll take breaks for small snacks.

Actually yes you can - there was just an article yesterday in cyclingnews about someone getting arrested here in the States for "cycling under the influence". Apparently the guy was drunk and out riding his bike!

I helped out on the very first session of the Academy a few weeks ago with a nasty hangover and 3 hours of sleep

I won't be doing that again anytime soon

I think you've lost your "Mother Hen" status for a little while.

Jobob, in order to keep your status as Role Model, we'll need to hear all the juicy details concerning how you came by that hangover and lack of sleep. We're adults here, spare nothing, we can take it.

**Veronica** · 03-25-2005, 08:49 AM

Hear! Hear! I second Kim's motion of spill all.
