Re: [RC] Secrets to Hydration??? help...... - Flora HillmanI learned from my first ride how important water is -- not just to carry, but to use! I carry a camelback bladder in my cantle saddle bag, not on my back. The sipping hose is clipped to anything on the side of the saddle ... sometimes even myself! Easy to just snatch it on the go, drink, and let the alligator clip grab whatever it can grab to hold the tube -- and do it all without looking. I also carry two small water bottles -- one holds juice (for instant carbohydrates), the other holds Pedalyte (human electrolyte) mixed with water. To keep myself hydrated I make it a point to drink whenever my pony drinks. As he's sucking up water, I'm also chugging down. A friend of mine once said that a rider should never come back into camp with water in their bottles. Good advice that pays off. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
