Like, when you're suffering on the anaerobic threshold for hours in the summer heat? I can't imagine sweating while cycling! Anyway, salty enough to be palatable is probably not that salty. I doubt any one is advocating old-fashioned salt tablets here. FC, congrats on selling lots of Carboom. (Oops, that's what we want to apply to those damned Hummers!) Though as a home-brewer, I'm tempted to try reverse-engineering sports gels with a base of malt extract syrup. A little sea salt, a little vanilla, a little lemon juice... mx Only drink it when you sweat a lot, Loes? Like, when you’re suffering on the anaerobic threshold for hours in the summer heat?

Fatty finally wrote something that dug considers worthy of his considered attention.    Can you preserve the rage until you all get together?   This is a fight I would love to see.    Shill, quote whore, bike whore, product manufacturer rump kisser.  Wow. And to think I have been missing all of this.  The rage, the fury, the cat-fight like tendencies.  Work gets in the way at the most inopportune times.  This is the best stuff.  Ever.

Salt? A salt containing drink doesn't quench your thirst, you should only drink it when you've sweat a lot, but you shouldn't drink it all day. You'll end up more thirsty than you were before you drank it. Hydro-Boom? Salt?
