SIS Go Electrolyte

£11, freewheel.co.uk

Confession time: I’m a ‘salty’ sweater so I get dehydrated easily in hot weather, and for years now I’ve taken to adding a scoop of Sis’s Go Electrolyte powder to my bottles before a summer ride.

The combination of electrolytes and carbohydrates (salt and sugar, basically) replaces all the stuff I sweat out, helping to stave off cramps and giving me energy to keep pushing the pedals. Plus, it gives the huge advantage of tasting like melted Solero Shots, the forgotten king of the ice-lolly genre. Top tip: add ice to chill the mixture for an even more authentic likeness.
