Wow! Patrick, I haven't thought about Switchel in eons! We used to drink
that a lot back when I was a kid and working on dairy farms back home in
Vermont. I think I'm going to have to make a batch!
Cheers!

Anybody ever try Switchel (a/k/a Haymakers' Punch)? It's a favorite
homebrew energy drink in New England
On a hot, sweaty day, V8s are amazing for me. I'll drink 24oz per
stop. It doesn't replace many calories, but it certainly replaces the
electrolytes. I'm going to make my first batch of the famous Allen Lim
rice cakes this weekend and see how those taste while riding.

I gave up on "sports drinks" long ago. On long rides, I'll usually carry a
bottle of water and a bottle of strong-as-death Irish breakfast tea.
Usually, for rides under 2 hours, I won't carry anything at all unless it
is really nasty hot and humid. Instead of goo-packs, I like apples or

Yeah, diluted apple juice works too. Like I said, the V8 has been a
revelation but not something I want to fill my bottles up with. I'm hoping
to do Larch Mtn on Sat or Sun. If it's hot I'll probably bring a small can
with me in my bag and just drink
I mean, weak COLD tea.

Repeat, repeat: a 2 or 3 hour ride is long for me, but in such cases I
like, in hot weather, weak tea with lemon and a little sugar; in cold
weather, Indian Chai but weakish with not too much milk.

Nothing like packing a tasty sandwich from the Belli Deli in San Rafael
before a long ride in Marin.

Nice article, thanks for posting. I go back and forth with this. I do like
using Hammer Products Perpetuem on long rides, especially brevets but
overall I prefer real food. When I did the Cascade 1200k a few weeks ago I
think I used 2 to 3 bottles of Perpetuem a day and 3 gels over the course

Excellent article. Whoulda thunk the food industry could be so
marketing driven? I am truly shocked.
Seriously, powdered Gatorade mixed to about half the recommended dose
works better than plain water for me on really hot days (over 90).
But there's only so much of that I can handle. I always h
