Summer Riding Essentials with Bradley Wiggins & Applied Nutrition

Stay Hydrated in Warm Weather

Hot summer days are ideal for getting out on your bike, but riding in warm conditions means your body loses more fluids through sweat. If these fluids are not replaced, you can quickly begin to feel tired, light‑headed, or dehydrated. That’s where hydration support becomes essential.

Applied Nutrition’s Endurance Hydration Electrolyte Tablets help support hydration, energy, and performance throughout your ride. They provide fast, effective hydration on the go and are packed with essential electrolytes, with zero sugar and just 6 calories per serving. Available in five delicious flavours, the convenient “drop and go” format makes them easy to carry and simple to use, ensuring hydration wherever your ride takes you.

Fuel for Long‑Distance Riding

Long‑distance bike rides can quickly deplete your body’s energy and hydration stores. As exercise continues, glycogen levels gradually decrease, which can lead to fatigue and reduced performance. To maintain endurance, it’s important to start your ride with fully stocked glycogen stores and continue fuelling during exercise.

When covering longer distances, Applied Nutrition’s Endurance Energy & Hydration Powder is a must‑have. Providing 48g of carbohydrates and 300mg of electrolytes per serving, it supports endurance, helps maintain hydration, and aids performance during long‑distance cycling sessions.

This product is best consumed as part of your carbohydrate‑loading strategy in the days leading up to your ride, or a few hours beforehand, to maximise its benefits. It is available in Blackcurrant, Lemon & Lime, and Orange Burst flavours.

Prioritise Recovery After Your Ride

After a long bike ride, recovery is just as important as the ride itself. During prolonged cycling sessions, the body uses large amounts of glycogen for energy, experiences muscle breakdown through repeated effort, and loses important fluids and minerals through sweat. Without proper recovery nutrition, this can lead to increased fatigue, muscle soreness, dehydration, and reduced performance in future rides.

Endurance Recovery - Post Exercise Fuel delivers 24g of carbohydrates, 21g of protein, and 1,500mg of electrolytes per serving. It is specially formulated to support recovery following intense and endurance‑based cycling sessions. Carbohydrates help replenish depleted glycogen stores, allowing energy levels to be restored more efficiently. Protein supports muscle repair and adaptation by helping rebuild muscle tissue stressed during exercise. Electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, help replace minerals lost through sweat, support hydration, and aid normal muscle function.
