Why do I crave salt after rides?

[ColinJ]

Just looked it up. My bad! What is the term you use for hitting the wall?

We use it in both senses!

If you start talking about cycling giving you a sore fanny though then you would be using the wrong word for a UK audience, unless you really did mean genitals!

Does anyone still say bonking (as in sex)?

Some people probably do ...

It's not a topic of conversation that comes up very often in my solitary world!

Crashing, for example, I crashed when I hit the wall

Actually, no kidding - I remember reading an article in American magazine Bicycling about techniques for cycling up steep hills ... apparently, w*nking can really help! (They were using it as another word for zigzagging! )

Both my father and maternal grandfather worked in Steel works. Both had what looked like peppermint tablets in a pocket on their work jacket. They were pure salt! I tried one once and couldn't even chew it, way too salty. They both said when working next to a blast furnace or soaking pit (Where they kept ingots of steel at near white hot.) they could chew them like sweets.

If you crave salt it doesn't revolt you, if you don't, it isn't something you'd chew from choice!

You may have got that game slightly wrong

Probably
I said the OP might need electrolytes and posted a link to high 5 , @Spiderweb did and posted a link to the same product ...............

Thanks everyone. I found a local product that seems very similar to high5. It was only 82* today, so not as hot as it has been, but it worked like a charm. I appreciate the help!

I'm not even going to look that one up!
