Re hydration - What do you drink when riding?

[Raging_Bulls]

50/50 mixture of water and orange juice (Minute Maid).
Learned that while racing in the mid 90s, and stuck with it ever since.

I like the taste of plaggy water bottle flavour water Although its not a strong tasting as a shot from them 70s water pistols(come on admit it,you've drank the water from one).

Food wise,pasta the night before a long morning ride(thats been a while since Ive done that,operation still looming)and I like the small packets of fruit and nut mix that Sainsbury's do.Couple of them in the saddle bag and Im sorted for a couple of hours
