Years and years ago when I worked at Al's Bike and Toy as a bicycle mechanic I used to ride my mountain bike everyday. If you have ever ridden a bike like that you know hydration is important. At that time I just drank out of a water bottle like everyone else.
Then when Camelbacks came along it was amazing. So versatile and the ability to carry so much more. We put hot stuff in it for snowboarding and I started using a mix of Mountain Dew and Gatorade on my longer mountain bike rides.
Last year though, I finally tried something I had always heard good reviews of and that is Cytomax. I was at Rich Olivers Mystery School sliding a little dirt bike around on the dirt track all day and he provided Cytomax for us to drink all day. I was amazed at my endurance and recovery using it!
Now that I seemingly am back into Brazilian jiu jitsu hardcore I find I am needing more than water during my two and half hour long training sessions. Let me tell you, for me, nothing beats Cytomax for use during prolonged exertion and as a recovery drink.
If not Cytomax is available I will use a GU packet and water, but that really can't compare to how I feel during the workout and how quickly I recover when I use Cytomax.
