[RC] Speaking of beet pulp... - Alan Kay - sherman
I don’t use Ultium, so don’t know
what’s in it. What I’ve read is that you should not feed a “large
grain meal” on ride morning. Also, yes, electrolyes
the eve before & morning of the ride are appropriate. Some riders feel that
the electrolyting should begin Thursday nite for a Saturday ride, others say there’s no need
to start that early since it’ll be flushed out if the excess isn’t
needed the way it is on ride day.

I have been supplementing soaked beat pulp & Ultium
mix starting a few days before a ride and continuing a few days after. I've
heard various recommendations on feeding or not feeding such a mix the morning
of the ride (we're talking 50 mile rides). I usually mix electrolytes in this
mix starting the evening before the ride and feed this ride morning and at the
vet checks and at the ride's end. Is there evidence to
support or stop this practice? Thanks!
