Straight Water"
I am I the only one or does anyone else really not like to drink straight water. I don't mean sport drinks and replacement drinks I just mean something with taste? Personally I drink Crystal Light on the bike and save the calories for beer at the end of the ride. I also do not mind diet coke or pepsi. I hate Gatorade only time I ever used it was in the Chicago Marathon in 1989 and that was a mistake. That was a very hot marathon and while I survived ok an actually ran ok. I could have done better not going for Gatorade. I thought with the heat I should but it was not great idea.
So on the bike it is weird but I don't carry water. I could drink water if I eat something like crackers or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I never eat unless I am going on a ride unless I am going more than 75.
