Thumbs up Coconut water keeps this 68 yr. old going.

Ever since I started using coconut water in my camelback, my cramps are a thing of the past. It is very warm and humid here almost all the time so it is a game changer for me and many of the old guys I ride with. One old guy is over 70 and he is known as the "Ever Ready Bunny" because he is unstoppable.
He always has a liter of coconut water on him.

My pre and post ride formula base is:
Hydrate with (1+) gallons daily for (2+) days prior to riding event with electrolytes of choice and Cocoa Nut water
Take magnesium and calcium for optimal electrolyte and mineral storage & system distribution
4oz., of pickle juice just before riding and then again before going to bed
The chemical reaction and exchange during an event of charged muscles is nothing less than phenominal, as within ~40 seconds you go from agonizing cramps to soothing relaxation without bruising!
**PreCaution Disclaimer**
Overdosing of this formula will have adverse side effects w/dire consequences

Then the Red Amber of choice to celebrate the success of the days ride!!

Well it worked for the most part, there is only so much my muscle mass can do since I'm just starting out in Enduro. But yes, I felt stronger overall during the weekend and wasn't too sore after that like I used to be.

Born to Rides formula works ! I added in Calm from Natural Vitality it gives you 81% of daily value from 2 teaspoons a day . It made the difference that I needed in the formula to get rid of the cramps . Thank you Born To Ride !

Well it has been awhile since this tread has been up but it seems rite that since I have found a new cure that seems to work for me . Theraworx is a foam spray that I learned if I spray it on in the morning before I ride a few times it gets rid of my leg cramps . Its main ingredient is magnesia sulphurica and it is the first time in a long time that my inner thighs did not leave me a cripple after riding . I need to test it some more but doing it this early multiple times may change riding for me . Give it a try you can get it at some drugstores .

I've heard that pickle juice works by tricking your brain by distracting it when you start to cramp. No matter how it works it does seem to work for me. Another thing that works when you feel muscle cramps coming on is to eat a spoonful of yellow mustard or a mustard packet if you have one. I'll have to give the coconut water a try, where do you find it besides buying fresh coconuts?

Thumbs up

Wish I'd read this thread a couple months ago. I recently did 25 mile day of sandy ST on my '01 XC 200 up in Michigan. That afternoon, back at the motel while laying around resting up, before going out for chow & a beer, both of my inner thighs cramped up from my knees to my belly bottom.

I couldn't lay back down & I couldn't get up either. Finally I forced myself to stand up and walk it off. After that , I was afraid to move, for fear I'd cramp up again.

I'd of drank a gallon of pickle juice if I'd had some right about then.

I'll definitely try this next time.

RB
