    Ive been fond of sis’s mixed berry superhydro for a while but they have changed it and I’m not so keen now, I tried some nuun the last few rides (strawberry lemonade) but found it a bit blah.

    Whats everybody’s favourite? Of to buy some more of something after work but not sure what to go for.

    Claret!

    no, water, only put flavoured things in first time after sterilising it.

    On the zipfit box there’s an asterix, can’t see the ‘small print’ must round the back, what does it say?

    Those Zipvit are tasty, mainly use Nuun myself, think the Zipvit has a small amount of calories in it, so avoid using it in the bag

    Nectar ones at Wiggle are lovely too.

    Water although I did try some of my friends High5 tabs, the one with caffeine in and it was quite tasty.

    I use a 50:50 mix of apple juice and water. Reasonably cheap, can be resupplied en route, tastes nice and has some carbs too.

    Tried using Lucozade Sport for a while, as it was on special offer, but found it too sweet when taking lots of sips from a CB over long periods. And it felt like my teeth were rotting off by the end of the ride! Then tried some powdered electrolyte stuff (forget the brand, could have been SIS). Tasted ok but was a bit sickly, even when using a low concentration.

    Now I just use water!

    Now that I would have loved to have seen…. very funny !

    Water, or water with some Ginger & Lemon Grass cordial for me(the posh stuff in the tall green bottles) Nuun citrus fruit for big hot rides because it does help with cramp avoidance.

    Just tried Torq Lemon & Lime for an energy boost because I’ve been taking some pain killers/anti inflammatories that have fecked me up and I have to say that it was quite nice.

    I’m sure it’s completely true – if you drink a drink with no sugar in it, you’ll surely burn more fat than someone drinking a sugary drink.

    Doubt it burns fat any different than water, though.
