    I tend to drop a Zero tab in my drink purely as I find it more palatable than plain water. Also it really did seem to stop me getting cramp.

    Water, sometimes with ice cubes.

    If it’s really hot, I’ll freeze the full bladder overnight for a longer lasting ice cold drink
    It defrosts at a nice steady rate usually

    That flavoured still water from Morrisons, the orange & peach one is tasty so I tend to drink more than I would if it was plain watta.

    Water usually. To all the hot chocolate/vodka/squash/energy drink users, how do you get the bladder and gubbins clean, specifically the bite valve and hose joints.

    Ovaltine? Sounds to good to be true, how long does it stay hot/warm/drinkable for?

    Sparkling water! I would love to have seen that, my brother (new to mountainbiking) put some of that carbonated rockstar energy drink in, fairly amusing i just left him to it.

    I also tried lucozade still when i had nothing else, FAR too sweet it was like drinking treacle, not refreshing at all.

    Water, although sometimes if i forgot to wash it out last time I’ll add a bit of squash to hid the taste. But water’s all you really need. If you’re going really hard core maybe some kind of carb/electrolyte mix, but most people don’t really need/feel the benefit of them.

    I tried a pretty hard and fast road ride this weekend with 2 bottle of lucozade sport, and as said above I could hardly drink it with out being sick – wish I’d added water to it.

    Ask Graeme Obree what he drinks if you want an answer without marketing BS.

    At the mo, I’m drinking 50/50 mixture of water & pure fruit juice.

    On very long rides I’m going to start experimenting with the above but adding 40g of pure honey, 40g of maple syrup and a pinch of Morton’s Lo Salt. How big a pinch, I’m not sure. I read somewhere of adding about 3-4g in 2-3 litres of liquid.

    water, sometimes water with fresh lemon juice and rock salt or if its a really long ride coconut water is good.
