I’m doing the Brecon Beast. 100km race / challenge.
Gonna keep this brief as getting a little tired, but I always suffer when riding for longer than 50km, So bad in fact I’m nearly in tears! :(

It’s a real worry On Sunday that probably will ruin my day - I have been told to fill a water bottle and put a small amount of 'rock salt' and put some lemon juice such as jiff. Is this right?

I'll be riding with a 2.5l camel back with Torque energy power. A 1 litre water bottle with a strange salty concoction.

Any other advice or warning for what Im doing?

My mate swears by quinine.

So does mine, but it’s never worked for me. Have you ever downed bottles of tonic water!? No? I don’t recommend it.... ;)

Did the Brecon beast - I’ve posted in the bike thread. No cramp at all:D:D :) 2x high5 electrolyte tabs and rock salt. Tasted alright and obviously worked.
