It is hot, and even despite being an English(wo)man, I'm not a mad enough to try and ride in the midday sun.
But even sticking to early morning or late evening riding and taking to the e-bike I'm still a constant sticky, sweaty mess.
As temperatures are continuing to climb, the act of staying cool on the bike is no easy feat, but I'm determined to do so and have hunted down the best deals on hydration products this Amazon Prime Day for helping me with my quest.
If you're out riding, please remember to be sensible and take heed of any health warnings, as everyone reacts to heat differently.
If you're interesting in the complete range of cycling deals we've we've found already, head over to our main Amazon Prime Day hub page just over here.
Why not just drink water?
We explain what the difference is between electrolyte and carbohydrate drinks in our best energy drinks page (opens in new tab), but in summary keeping liquid levels topped up, especially in hot weather is vital.
Carbohydrate drinks are a great way to get the energy in and replace calories, particularly when it feels too hot to eat more than just a salad or fruit.
Electrolytes are brilliant for replacing fluid and vital salts and minerals, like sodium, potassium and magnesium that we loose when sweating, which can help with cycling and cramp.
The Amazon Prime Day deals
USA
CELSIUS Essential Energy Drink: $27.00 $17.31 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
A cooler way to get a pre-workout caffeine hit. The 12 pack of carbonated zero sugar energy drinks, has virtually zero calories, but contains seven essential vitamins and 200mg total caffeine per serving, about the same as two cups of coffee, so be careful not to consume too much. It's an exclusive Amazon Prime Day deal, but it isn't the cheapest we've seen it this month, but only by a few cent, so still a good deal.
Nuun Energy: $31.96 $20.42 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
We've been fans of nuun drinks over the years, so are happy to jump on this Amazon Prime Day exclusive, even though it's not the cheapest price we've ever see it at.
