Pedialyte
Does anyone use Pedialyte as an electrolyte solution in their hydration systems?
If so what is a good mixture to start out with? Water to Pedialyte ratio? Compared to Gatorade, what seems to work better? Thanks

Nuun is much better, in my opinion. I have used it with great success. One tablet per 16 ounces of water will help you during and after an event. I don't use it in my hydration pack, if it's a very long ride I pack it separate, or else I just leave it at the truck and enjoy after the ride.
Low calories, it's an electrolyte replacement, not a sports drink. It makes it a bit fizzy, so wait for the bubbles to settle before twisting the lid down tight.

I go simple.
In my 3 liter C-Bak I add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime. If, on the rare occasion I feel like getting creative, I will add a few ounces of coconut water. It was 105F when I finished riding yesterday. I did fine. |

I've been using Elete, found it at a bicycle store, no 'sweet' taste to clog my mouth up.....
http://new.eletewater.com/ actually the first taste was awful but it has grown on me....

Elyte Sport, add a couple oz's to a gallon and some Tang for taste, if you like orange. I have been trying the Camelbac stuff Elixr and that seems to help, but I think the ElyteSport was the best:

I always have to clorox my cooler...i am so addlebrained I keep leaving sandwiches and apples in it. Very odd what 105 degrees will do over a week on a damp cooler with free protein in it...ok, odd isn't the right word!

One nice thing about the hydrobak type bladders with the drybag type close. You turn them inside out and top rack of the dishwasher, no matter what sports drink you had its gone from the bag.
I used the pedialite a few times.. it helps but always forget to buy it.
