4. Fill your water bottle
It’s easy to forget just how hard you’re working on a bike, and in warm weather or cold, hydration is critical. If you’re sweating, you need to be replacing lost salts in order to make use of any water you’re drinking. This is where hydration tablets come into play, they contain a replenishing mixture of electrolytes and salts to quench your mid-ride thirst, so pop one in your water bottle when you head out for a long or hot ride.
