Well, I think you know why they put it in the water. You might not know what to do to get it out of the water though. Just put your water in an open container and let the chlorine evaporate out. People suggest leaving it out for 24 hours, but chlorine evaporates fairly quickly and I’ve found that the chlorine taste is gone after just a few hours.

They put it in to make people drink less…
Beside of the fact that you shouldn’t drink tab water after 6 hours (I never cared about it) that’s a great tip and I’ll try it right now. Thank you!

Gatorade v. Water v. Frappacino!

See: Riding, Fatigue, and Age

I’m semi-serious about this. Frappacino before, during or after a ride rocks my world! (Of course it’s not loaded with electrolytes, and you might experience the dreaded post-caffination-crash, but the combination of sugar, fat-free milk, and coffee helps me dig deeper and go longer.)

However, for long (2-3 hr.) workouts, I find sports drinks to be extremely useful, and for ultra-long (12 - 36 hr.) events – essential – where the electrolytes are needed to reduce or eliminate cramping and nausea.

Talley-ho! It’s off to the baristas I go.
