What kind of energy drink do you use when you ride?

[mtnbikerdude87]

H20!!! on my regular rides.

gatorade accelerade on my race days. I usually do the half and half mix.

water, in my camel back for most riding.

i'll carry water bottles filled with GU02 or Ultra Fuel ( Ultra fuel, works really great, you'll be amped on that) for long distance trips

i recently tried the Gatorade, Endurance Formula at the Rosarito to Ensenada ride (50 miles) it seemdd to have worked reallty good, i felt strong throughout the ride

I enjoy drinking a Hansen's Energy drink on the way to the trailhead. Mostly water after that.
Some complex carbs before the ride is good too, like some toast........
Runaway Bride Toast

I recently got some lemon-lime accelorade, but I'm rather disappointed that it tastes pretty bad. But if I use half the recommended amount, I'm alright.
I think mixing it with something tastier would be the way to go.

I've usually got water in the camel and an extra bottle or two of something special.

Cytomax, mixed light.

Cytomax cranberry grapefruit (yummy). But once you start drinking an electrolyte drink during a ride you shouldn't stop and start drinking water or else the loss of electrolytes can cause cramping and possibly hyponatremia (water intoxication).

Water. I fill the camelbak with water for the ride and drink Guinness after the ride. Guinness is the Irish energy drink!

Lately I haven't really been doing much in the way of XC riding (I need a new XC bike), but when I am riding the long XC epics I generally drink water and take some bars with me. I have never really liked sports drinks. I am pretty much a water drinker while excercising.
