I think much of it gets back to fitness rather than nutrition. There seems to be so many theories about miracle cramp cures, but my experience is that when I was starting to ride longer distances with faster guys, I would cramp near the end. Several years later after building a base and many such longer and faster rides, cramps are no longer an issue. I’m not saying don’t hydrate or don’t increase your sodium intake, but I would suggest that that may not be a miracle cure and it may take time to develop a level of fitness that can handle the races you are doing.
