Hand Wash Cycling Kit

What’s your cycling kit washing routine?  I thought I’d give you a quick behind the scenes look at what I do here in Grenada.  Here’s my old school kit washing video with all the details.

    You can add Borax or Borax substitute to your wash in addition to detergent etc. to get rid of that sweat stink that builds up over time with your kit.
    I like to use delicates bags. One for fine jerseys or base layers and another for velco stuff.

    Ha, I prefer the modern way. Thank goodness for washing machines and a wife who washes my cycling kits for me.

    I sometimes wash my cycling clothes outside in the summer. It’s a nice way to finish off a ride and get the gear ready for next time.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean ”lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
