I read a great blurb from Becky just a little while ago. Did anyone
else catch it? She said she couldn't stand gatoraide in her water
bottle, but Judith knew she needed the electrolytes so she took to
putting a mixture of water and gatoraide in Becky's water bottles. Like
10 or 25% gatoraide and the rest water. This sounds like a great solution
(oooo... pun!) to me and I plan to try it at my next ride. Basic green
gatoraide, not that ucky blue stuff.
Fruit is a great idea... bananas would be the best if they didn't get
constantly squished and sat on. Grapes are wonderful! And beef jerkey.
Beef (or Turkey) jerkey sticks (ouch! I did it again!) with me longer
than other foods. Trail mix and dried fruit is good, except the nuts
are a bit high in fat which produced a "lump" in my stomach. I take
along the packaged Kellogg's Rice Krispy treats which tend to be edible,
but they don't last very long and tend to be sweet.
What does everyone eat in the morning? I've heard bagels, hot oatmeal
and hot cream of wheat. ...and Truman's cold baked potatos.
