Answer 2

Actually, you might try some of the food products made for cyclists, such as the energy gels and snacks that give you quick energy, and stick to water for drinking.

Answer 3

lucazade

Answer 4

Emergen-C in your water bottle (Vitamine C and Potasium) and any Gel like GU etc for quick boost.. Gatorade is Expernsive coloured water + salt+sugar..  It did not work for me on long rides (50 plus miles).

Answer 5

try a can of red bull 10 mins before biking,it should get ya going pretty good,along the way just water is fine,to keep ya from dehydrating that is...ride on

Answer 6

Gatorade is the best.  Mountain Dew or your favorite caffiene product will help.   In fact, I like to mix some Dt. Dew with gatorade to give you something that isnt so flat.    

I'd stay away from "Red Bull" type products.

Answer 7

Water in the camel pak and a bottle of OJ or lemonade on the cage. Caffiene will wake you up but also dehydrate you.
