What's in your drinks bottle?

[fingers]

I usually carry 1 bottle of water and 1 of energy stuff. TBH Im going off gin.

... mother's ruin

Anyway, if it's not in a martini it's just wrong.

What? Gin and martini?

You need dry martini and vodka. Thats more reserved for 'apres ride', as it were.

Vodka martini?

Am I hearin' you right? Vodka martini



Martinis are only right when made with gin. Don't fall foul of influence of popular culture and a certain James Bond...

Vodka martini. And to increase its rehydration properties, add some lemonade.

In mine I have air and what ever amount of dust has collected inside since last night.

When Im out riding its just water though. I always found anything else tainted the plastic. Orange was horrible to use if you ever wanted to use it for water again.

i use juice with a pinch of salt although normally im too 'hardcore' to take a drink as i dont have a bottle cage and hate taking a bag (because it hits you in the head when you jump)

This is where water bottles trump camelbaks for me. One bottle water, one with half the recommended dose of energy mix.

Out here, if I haven't drunk that on an hour ride then I'm going to suffer pretty soon.

Any kind of sport without something more than just plain water for more than an hour can really mess me up. I learned this the hard way after my first tennis match in the afternoon sun ......

Only ever water, plus some fruit in my back pack for longer rides. Satsumas are good, with practice you can peel them one handed while on the move.

My water bottle's full of blue ano cable crimps. Blagged a handfull at Mayhem and the only place I had to put them was in a Syncros water bottle that I had blagged a few minutes earlier.

I had a mate BITD who was a cycle courier in London when they first started. He used to carry one water bottle of water and one of stright undiluted Kia Ora. If anyone cut him up in traffic he would squirt Kia Ora on their windscreen and shoot off through the traffic. It's a bugger to get off as it just smears if you use your wipers

Earlier it was MyProtein's 'True Whey' in their delicious Mint Chocolate flavour as I've been working out every evening

Having just got this - I suppose I'll have to carry Bacardi :roll:

.................or Carlsberg


Actually best thing I've ever taken was Lucozade Orange, fizzy. But on the bus to start of race the Lucozade Orange, fizzy decided it didn't want to be in my water bottle anymore and made a gas-pressured escape under my seat resulting in orangey-yellow liquid seepage on floor which, yes, went from one end of bus to t'other
