Cooler temperatures alter your body's response to cycling stress. While you pedal, your respiration rate rises, necessitating increased hydration due to the dryness of cold air. Are you maintaining adequate hydration?

Sweating leads to sodium and electrolyte loss. Without replacing them, you’ll become fatigued faster and increase the likelihood of cramps. Even worse, you'll bonk!

1. Consume at least one bottle per hour.
2. Adjust intake based on ride intensity.
3. Prioritise flexibility and body signals to avoid dehydration or hyperthermia.

When your hands are frozen and you're barely hanging onto your bars, it's tough to drink. Consider a hydration pack to easily sip as you ride. You'll have better control as you don't have to take a bottle in and out of a cage, and you'll be able to carry more liquid and nutrition with you.
