Bicycling lesson of the day: When someone suggests a new electrolyte drink, don't simply mix the powder to a sweetness that seems reasonable and assume it's good. Specifically, don't assume that the sweetener actually contains usable calories, as opposed to, say, stevia, and don't assume that it's got reasonable amounts of salt in it.
Ouch. 40 some odd miles (out to Tomales and back), and I haven't ridden in a while, but damn I was dragging and cramped on the ride home. Didn't help that I had a minor case of something digestive early this morning, but... Ouch.
Gonna have to toss in a scoop of Hammer SE and a teaspoon of salt if I'm going to use the rest of that one.
