This year I've started adding more sodium into my diet & on-rides; I'm seeing a great benefit to my endurance (& much reduced need to pee). It's still the depths of winter in Minneapolis, so my only good test so far are long Zwift rides and that one day last month I rode up to the Mauna Kea Visitor's Center.
