Default Muscle Cramp Recovery Advice Please.

Current stat is 106kg.

Height is 6ft

Hitting around 140-160 miles per week 70 are commute rides.

However I am getting cramps during long rides.

Any advice on how to combat this? Heard fluid is the key as it maybe dehydration.

Simple as more water or would supplements help?

The one and only reason your suffering from cramp is down to a lack of salt in your diet/system

Just up it and you should be golden.

You were bang on mate.

Through the week I have been slightly increasing my water and salt intake.

Especially when riding.

Completed a nice 100 mile ride today and had no cramps or twinges whatsoever.

Next stop is 110 miles.
