  We would never give a dehydrated horse Bute or Banamine or even
 electrolytes, but we pop down painkillers like they're M&Ms, and even brag
 about it!  Then, when the ride is over, many of us like to kick back with a
 cold beer or a Marguerita! >>

Have I ridden with you before?  You are describing my ride protocol to a 'T'! 
   So, what's the best pain killer to use?(I love Advil because it actually 
works--I wish the same people who developed it would put their energies into 
developing a fly spray).  Also, I guess I've been lucky, because I have taken 
Advil on my last four Tevis rides (plus numerous other endurance and CTRs) 
without a problem -- but I don't need to push my luck either.  Thanks for the 
input.
