Re: [RC] Cool Tips for Riders - Heidi Smith1) Drink like a fish the day before. No carbonated caffeinated beverages--just water, juice, and milk. Drink a MINIMUM of 20 oz of water pre-ride, in addition to the juice and milk that I have with breakfast. Carry two 20-oz water bottles FULL for each loop and drink them in their entirety on each loop--refill at vet checks. I forgot to mention that I'm also on blood pressure meds that give me a REALLY bad dry mouth--and it is worse after I drink water when it is dry and hot out. I've overcome this with a stash of hard candies--and I pretty much have to keep one in my mouth anytime I'm drinking much at all. (So as per Angie--if you see me writhing in the trail, do a Heimlich maneuver! <g>) Heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
