[Andrewsute]

Water during a ride and red bull or fanta after the ride to get sugar.
It helps replenish lost fluids and salts

[LTR]

i drink water mixed with the powerade powder... its quite good.... also a red bull now and then !! ie everyday... :oops:

[naz]

alot of redbull makes ur piss glow in the dark...
well it looks like it does anywho...i was on a redbull trip mayb i was hallucinating

[J3T-PuLsAr]

im glad yous understood what my topic meant lol. i usually drink only water but sumtimes powerade (not gatorade cos that sucks!!!) and usually softdrink when ive finished riding to get sugar levels back

[DRUM]

Yeh when i get back from rides and my energy is depleted I usually whip myself up some icy cold water with powerade powders mixed in.

[J3T-PuLsAr]

whats the powerade in powder form like? is it much differant to the normal bought pre-mixed powerades?

[DRUM]

It does taste pretty nice... However its been ages since ive bought some in pre-mix so i cant tell which is better. With the powder it can be hard to get the ratios perfect (not that it really matters) so it probly does taste betters from the bottle. I havent actually taken the powder on a ride yet...just drink it when i get home. Also not sure on the prices but it looks like a good deal.

Be careful, a lot of the soft drinks on the market are diuretics (coke's probably the worst), not really what you want after a ride.

[Turley]

Water during and energy drinks before/after

[CHEWY]

whats a diuretic? ive heard of it before...

It's incredibly cheap, taste isn't too bad, not as lolly-sweet either, I prefer powdered over premix.

[kane]

wine coolabah fruity lexi it gives u energy

[sxereturn]

^I bet you are either from Toowoomba, or have relatives there.

A guy I used to work with (Scott Finlay, some of you may know him), demonstrated something to me one day. I had been drinking water all day, and went across the road and picked up a can of fanta. When I got back, he told me I wouldn't be able to think straight, and I'd start getting clumsy after I drank it.

It was true...I ended up knocking 2 drinks over, got nearly no work done because I was thinking of 5 things at once etc...


Haven't had Fanta since.

[Rik]

Insulin spike? I think it's been explained to me before, but it's all blurry. Maybe because I just had a glass of lemonade :P

[Maggot]

i drink whatever i can get my hands on, all depends on money, i had a twenty ended up drinking 4 bottles of red bull

[_J_]

too much red bull makes u go crazy (or so it says)..u said bottles eh...how does that make u feel?

[2 smooth]

So Wade Simmond proved at the rdbull ride...Was it something like 23 over an hour or so?

[Emerin]

I really don't like to drink red bull or V's or anything like that... i've got too much natural energy. But as for drinks after a ride, i like power aid and gummy bears. Very good sugar hit, without guranna. (which tends to keep me bouncing off walls for hours). As for alcahol, Malibu and pinapple juice. Always. :D

[Rik]

You're female, that's unsuprising ;)

I drink anything when I'm riding, as long as I can have alot of it. I'll go through many litres of water, will take a 2L bottle of coke with me, maybe powerade, whatever. And after the ride, nothing like a beer or 10 to help you recover.

[nhd]

grape gatorade, nothing better

[DEVLIN]

A diuretic basically makes you piss more often.

When I ride it is always one bottle 50/50 gatorade/glucodin powder mix and one bottle water.

When racing I use powder mix at first, then put flat coke in my last lap bottle mmmmm caffiene and sugar are great when your peaking. I always have a big drink of powder mix afterwards though.

[dickyknee]

whats a diuretic? ive heard of it before...
A substance or drug that tends to increase the discharge of urine


i drink water when riding and powder gatorade when i get home .

[crozza]

gatorade if i can or solo but mostly water

[Maggot]

i felt like a cat on a tin roof on a 40 degree day, very jumpy and energetic

[Mahoney_007]

Staminade the past couple of rides, tastes good seems to work, and its green woohoo I think its a bit expensive so ill have a go at the PowerAid powder next, see if its as tasty :wink:

[grovesy]

Iced water during the ride then into the beers and bullshit afterwards.

this is a man with his priorities straight :D

[bazza]

everyone knows you should have at least a 1/3 powerade to 2/3 water ratio. this powerade level is a max as well, this also applies with staminade/gatorade/any of those other drinks. and dont drink softdrink during rides or before, really bad for ya. drink water! lots of it!!!!! however dont forget to top up on sugars and salt after rides or else you will end up with the shakes or feeling like shit.
