Elete Water

Elete Hydration

Hydration is important when riding a bicycle across the USA in July and August. Every day we lose the race with the sun and heat around ten or eleven o’clock. Our wake up and ride system was set until moving into a new time zone. The first day after moving into central Tennessee’s hour earlier time we got up at our regular time – five. We noticed an immediate difference. We could see and this was NOT good.

Realizing our HEAT CLOCK was going to be set back by an hour we pumped Elete Hydration into our water and hoped for the best. Elete is an “electrolyte add in” putting in the stuff we are so profusely sweating out. Elete takes a balanced approach replacing what you are losing without all the usual sports drink sugar high and subsequent bonking. Sports drinks take me up fast and tend to drop me like a stone. Elete is a sustained release over time, a more balanced approach.

Using Elete is easy. You dump a few powerful drops in your water and drink. I keep one water bottle with Elete and one without mixing and matching as needed. Elete says they can “transform any beverage into a spots drink”, but this has negative connotations for me. I used to LOVE sports drinks when I was twenty years younger. Now, after cancer and MS and being on the north side of fifty, I can’t afford the sugar rush and then immediate hard drop down. I have to be careful about fueling for endurance on Martin’s Ride. Elete Hydration is one valuable tool in the fight against record summer heat as we wind our way across the USA.

We like Elete's walk their talk too. They give generously to the military and other great charities. These guys know their water and you will be able to go better and longer in the heat with Elete.
