Referring to another thread... :-)

What do you put in your homebrew (dunno if that pun is intended
sports drink? What's the secret for the ultimate cycling fuel?

I use a recipe I found on the Internet (it may originally be from John
Forester's book): 1 2-qt envelope of Kool-Aid powder, 1/2 cup sugar,
and 1 tsp salt. Makes 2 quarts. I mentioned it to my doctor (who is
also a cyclist, though I don't know how serious), and he said it
sounded fine; he also said he usually suggested powdered Gatorade
mixed at half-strength.

I find that kiwi-strawberry flavor is lighter and not as
sticky-tasting as some of the other flavors, while cherry goes well
with fig bars.

I'm thinking about trying it without the Kool-Aid.
