On long summer bike rides, maintaining adequate hydration is crucial for optimal performance and your health. High temperatures and intense physical activity can lead to rapid fluid loss and increase the risk of dehydration. That’s why the experts recommend some tips to hydrate properly during summer rides.
Start by hydrating before your ride: Make sure you start your workout already well hydrated. Drink at least 500ml of water or a sports drink one hour before you leave.
Carry a water bottle or hydration pack: When cycling, it’s important to have constant access to water. Carry a reusable water bottle or a hydration backpack with you that allows you to drink comfortably while pedalling.
Drink regularly while exercising: Don’t wait until you feel thirsty before drinking. Sip small amounts of liquids every 15 to 20 minutes to maintain adequate hydration.
Use sports drinks: Sports drinks are a good option during summer rides. They contain essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium which help restore minerals lost through sweat.
Supplement with water and electrolyte-rich foods: In addition to beverages, you can also increase your water and electrolyte intake through foods such as fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, and yogurt.
Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks: While exercising, avoid alcohol and sugary sodas as they can increase your risk of dehydration.
