Bicycling Magazine online has a nice article about hydration myths and reality written by Monique Ryan. It's presented in that stupid slide show format, but the information is top notch. And now, a quick test. Which of these is not true:
1) Ideally, you should weigh yourself before and after each ride to make sure you replaced every lost ounce of fluid on the ride.
2) Caffeine lowers your rate of perceived exertion while improving your strength, endurance and mental performance.
3) Trained cyclists' performance is about the same whether they drink carbohydrate-only beverages or carbohydrate-protein beverages.
