“... and drink plenty of water.”

I read a story about a bike rider on some back trails in the desert. He still had water in his bottles, but his body needed electrolytes to process the water. (I didn’t know that was a thing). He was in really bad shape, cramping up, couldn’t ride anymore, etc. Luckily he had a locator beacon and a plan with some friends that lived an hour away and they rescued him.

He should have been carrying Brawndo. It has electrolytes, which bike riders crave.

Tsk. Even people in "Idiocracy" knew electrolytes were important!
