hydration

Gave the high 5 tabs a go on a 200 km hilly audax ride last weekend. I was still tired at the end but didn't have that unwell feeling I have been getting at the end of rides. I used 1 tab per 750 mil bottle and got through 4 and a half bottles.

difficult to know how much they really help but for the small cost involved I am going to keep using them on rides of more than 100km.

I use one tab per 500ml bottle, and take two bottles with me.

I don't believe they have any benefit over water other than as a rewarding flavoured treat. I drink 500ml of plain tap water half an hour before a ride too, I don't feel I deserve a treat just for remembering to put my jersey on after my bib shorts.

water gets boring after a while. As for the product itself, I have used it on a very very hot day doing laps around Richmond park before cycling home to north london. I think its more about not letting your body lose too much of the 'good stuff' through sweating so you can keep going for longer periods of time. Youre not a machine so youre still going to feel tired though.
