Hydration isn’t just about drinking water. When we’re riding, the liquids, minerals and electrolytes that drip off our body are there to cool our skin, in turn cooling our core body temperature. We need to constantly replenish what we’re losing. ⚡🛑 Utility Can Caddy 🛑⚡[ Ссылка ]
Sweat rates per individual vary for a variety of reasons. For our purposes, let’s say a rider averages a sweat rate of 1-1.5 liters per hour. So, a two hour ride through the woods might have a rider's sweat loss at 2-3 liters.
As we lose water and electrolytes while riding, we need to eat foods, or utilize electrolyte supplements, to replenish what we’ve lost in sweat. Since we’re on our bikes and riding the majority of the time, it’s tough to eat food to replenish the sweat and electrolyte loss. This is where supplements like LMNT or SaltStick Fastchews come into play. Mixing the proper amount into your hydration bladder, and remembering to drink, will keep a constant drip of what your body needs to stay hydrated and cramp free.
