Avoding cramp

From time to time i get cramp in my quads when cycling. I stretch before and after, drink plenty of water but still get it.
Now reading up on cramp it, it says "Cramp often happens after you have sweated a lot. Sweat is high in sodium and loss of sodium upsets the way your muscle works". I do sweat a fair amount, so can anyone recommended a drink supplement that i can take to replace this lost sodium??

Go on http://www.velotique.com/nutr.htm. They have what is called ''salt sticks''. You might find them in other stores. It works like a charm. I had a two day race last weekend and took some and I had no cramps!! But yes it's cause by dehydration and the loss of salts. hope this helps!"someone is training when you are not. when you race him, he will win."0
