Carry a cable lock on your rides. That makes every place with a bathroom/fluids on your routes a SAG.

However, as some have said, cramps are as much about muscle overexertion as about electrolytes/hydration. Been doing endurance sports for around 15 years now. There is no magic process that will eliminate cramps. You just learn to cope better. Wait till you do multisport if that's on your future horizon. Some muscles will cramp in the water, some more on the bike and continue on the run. You learn to live with it. At the end of a marathon, I basically have to lie still on the ground or sit in a chair for around an hour with no movement. Movement will cause severe/painful spasms in places below the waist.
