I use Endura. I usually ride in temperatures in the high 20's even early in the morning so sweating profusely is normal. I was after something to replace what was being lost and a personal trainer (I don't have one) mentioned Endura. I've since seen it on sale at the lbs so it must be okay.
Only problem is since I bought it, it's rained every day except one and the sun hasn't been visible since last Sunday last week so I haven't given it a good long term trial.
Maybe you people needing rain should buy some. It brought us rain if nothing else.

Dangerous perception if I may say!tuco wrote:...Endura. I've since seen it on sale at the lbs so it must be okay.
I take the view that these $$$ salt replacing drinks are only of value on longer rides, at least one to two hours or more. Otherwise water and a nice feed at home later would replace all the salt you've lost. Further, your body's regulation system would do a good job of equilibrating your needs.
So I keep my container of Stamina for those longer distance Sun rides only.

I realised what I wrote after I posted it and thought that's not really a good reason but I couldn't have been bothered changing it. I'd already edited it once because I missed a word.sogood wrote:Dangerous perception if I may say!tuco wrote:...Endura. I've since seen it on sale at the lbs so it must be okay.

I also forgot to mention I only use it on the longer rides, up around 40kms and especially the 60km plus rides, not the regular 20km rides around town.

What about magensium? Any natural food, or do I need tablets?

2) Per Tuco's URL. Alternatively, lick your Mg bike.

I agree, sogood.sogood wrote:I take the view that these $$$ salt replacing drinks are only of value on longer rides, at least one to two hours or more.
On longer rides (usually only weekends) I take a bottle of water and a bottle of electrolyte / carbohydrate replacement drink and alternate between them - anything left has to be drunk as soon as I get home!
For club events, I usually take electrolyte / carbohydrate replacement drink in both bottles and a banana. I also have a protein-based meal replacement drink when I finish, to get my recovery nutrition started.
That said, if I had to get through the humidity that Tuco has to deal with, I would probably be using electrolyte replacement more often.

I have'nt even thought about heart rate etc, but I have low blood presure and I'm taking rat poison daily, amongst other things. I know this is my 3rd day out but I feel knackered, completely knackered.

Do you think you are pushing yourself too hard with 3 hr rides so early in your cycling career? If you feel knackered, think how your heart feels. For its benefit, you might be better off to ease into cycling at a more graduated rate. A jack hammer initial approach may also lead to early termination due to injuries.pospete wrote:Right now my daily ride is around 3 hours, so I find the stuff helps. Tho to drink it at the rate they say would bankrupt me very quickly!

+1 Be careful, those that do that sort of riding have built a base fitness previouslysogood wrote:Do you think you are pushing yourself too hard with 3 hr rides so early in your cycling career?

I would suggest that you borrow a basic DIY fitness book from your local library and get an understanding of how best to structure a regime for your condition. If that's too difficult, than gym instructor/hospital physiotherapist may be good sources of information.
Just don't rush it, build up gradually is the key!

Healthy? Where?pospete wrote: I kind of wish I was healthier like most of you seem to be, at least it'dd be easier.
Random thought : I've found that buying a heart rate monitor has been the best thing I've bought yet - I now ride by heart rate, not speed or time. I find myself in anaerobic far too often (must be all the extra weight I'm taking along for the ride).
