I have found drinking Powerade while riding eliminated my cramping, including the delayed onset leg cramping in the middle of the night after the ride

Cramping doesn't always have to be a result of dehydration or fatigue although those are most common. Another factor is mental stress as in nervousness causing tension. I have witnessed this in tennis matches with a lot of pressure on the outcome. A player experienced cramping early on in a match and then when this player has resigned to losing he relaxed and stopped cramping and began to play well to the end.
Here's an observation based on no data but it seems that most of the guys I know who are prone to cramp are also the high strung guys with leaner than normal bodies. |

That's an interesting observation about type A skinny folk! I are one. An Ectomorph as it were. My dad too. I wonder if there's a solution other than just getting super fit and relaxing!!

It's funny mike - but the number one thing I was going to suggest to you is to focus on riding much smoother - go fast without looking like you are.... conserve energy. Riding - Zen Style...
I was thinking about riding behind you to videotape you - and focus on riding with a "more quiet" riding style. Jeff

At a XC I did last weekend, I got passed by a KTM, then followed them for a few km, and couldnt understand why they were braking so much ( its obvious with a KTM, it was squealing away ), I could ride at the same pace quite easily without the need to brake nearly as much as they were.
Barry, I still find it hard to believe you ride at all, im sure you just push your bike through puddles to make it dirty :/ |

Yeh, well, the reason my bike looks like it's hardly been ridden is because the only part that touches the ground is the tyres - unlike yours, on which all sorts of parts touch the ground numerous times a day, you know, like handlebars, footpegs, front mudgaurd, back mudgaurd, muffler, seat, radiator shrouds
