Happy Holidays!

[John Lilley]

Greetings from Paonia everyone!

Got about a foot of snow here.

My little holiday gift to you, a recipe for DIY hydration drink.  You can tune it however you like -- salty, sweet, sour.  This recipe is slightly salty, not very acidic, and just a hint of citrus.  Costs about 1/4th of commercial mixes.

15g NaCl (table salt)

25g KCl (potassium chloride)

29g sodium citrate

15g citric acid

270g sugar (or dextrose/glucose if you are fancy)

Seven drops citrus oil extract

Put it all in a *dry* blender on high until mixed into a powder.  

To make it more sour, increase citric acid or decrease sodium citrate.  These two make a pH-buffer together and it is their ratio that controls the acidity.

Happy holidration to you too!  NPR had an interesting discussion on hydration recently - https://www.npr.org/2023/01/02/1146587562/encore-how-much-water-do-you-actually-need-heres-the-science.

My tires are getting wider, and so *was* I after COVID.  Doing any rides this summer?

Hi Barry! 

Out here in Paonia you can only go about 30mi on paved road other than the deadly highway, so I went gravel.  Lots of dirt roads.  Cattle, turkeys, and deer.  The main challenge is too much steep and.loose, I have to walk a fair amount.  But I like it.  No traffic!

Cheers,

John.
