What do you put in your bottle?

[Davidc]

Any time I've put anything other than water in, bad biological things happen inside the bottle!

I've had those with just water!

Usually squash and water, sometimes with some extra sugar in. I have a cereal bar with me if I need some energy.

II usually put just water in, but lately I put cold fruit tea in.

 

[Headgardener]

Thin dilution of Robinson's Blackcurrant and Apple, just enough to taste the cordial and if I remember to put it in the fridge the night before then chilled as well.

Hi Sarah. Do you prefer high 5 or torq ?

Hi Sarah. Do you prefer high 5 or torq ?

Hi I feel the torq one is better for me in terms of keeping energy levels up and taste, its also got no artifical flavours, is pricey but i only use it once a week. their bars are good too.

For training I use this:-

200ml or orange squash
1 litre of water
1 teaspoon of salt
3 teaspoons of local honey.

After the ride in recovery:-


400ml or orange squash
1 litre of water
1 teaspoon of salt
3 teaspoons of local honey.

Once mixed pour what you need in your bottle and off you go or scale it down. On longer runs over say 50 miles I plan on taking a few chicken sandwich's cut in to small mouth full pieces in foil.

Hi 5 Orange flavour every time , from spinning class to 100mile rides , always does its job , never had a cramp.

 

[sabian92]

Apple squash. Don't like water in my bottle as it tastes a bit plasticky, even after 15+ decent hot soaks with washing up liquid. I don't mind much, I prefer the squash for the sugar anyway.

 

[xxmimixx]

Just plain water for me I' m very fussy on drinks cant have any Cordial, Sqaush, Sport or Energy drinks etc

 

[Radman]

Usually i take cordial but the other day i had one of the powerbar gels straw/banana

41g i think it helped with a bit of energy not sure if some of it is in the mind.
