TDF Tip #12: Use Electrolytes

Cramping can be a risk when you start riding harder or longer than that to which your body is accustomed. To make sure you’re fueled and hydrated properly, replace those electrolytes lost through sweating. You can add electrolyte powder to your bottles, or by making your own energy drinks (think fruit juice, water, and a little sugar and salt). No one wants to cramp up halfway through a ride!
