Isotonic Drinks

[The Jogger]

Sainsbury own raspberry isotonic drink, does the trick for me.

I agree with Numbnuts, a bit of fruit juice mixed with water is great and, most importantly, cheap. If you take your juice "neat" it is very high in carbs.

And very high in salt, usually. Drinking 3l of tetrapak orange juice and no water on a six hour ride would probably do you no good at all.

Orange juice and in the summer a little bit of salt added

+1 - Pure fruit juice though - plenty of fruit sugars.

Always with water added depending on what I want from it. I always add a pinch of salt as the dilute OJ can be a bit bland and I'm told it helps absorbtion.

3/4 OJ & 1/4 water good for an energy boost and a bit of hydration (shorter rides where it not worth bringing owt to eat)

1/4 OJ & 3/4 water good for keeping hydrated and a little energy boost (longer rides where you've got a pocket of enegry bars or malt loaf)
