Dry mouth

There is a good old marathon rule:

"If you feel thirsty - its too late to drink"

Start drinking more earlier. Professional cardio-athletes acrually measure their sweat levels so they know the exact liquid loss/hour so they now how much to stip during the course of an hour.

*Maybe you drink to little water during the day?*

Also forgot to mention - the airwaves gum also helps clear the nasal passages,,,,, quite spectacularly...[( Don't ride in the slipstream of anyone who 'doses' up on the old airwaves is my motto, especially off road..

I agree with Trikeman, chewing gum sorts the problem for me. I haven't tried airwaves yet but will give it a go.

Perhaps try sucking a wine gum or something similar when you exercise, there was something like this in CW a few months ago.

Or you can pay a premium for Sprt Beans.

Jelly Beans with Sport.

I always used to 'suffer' from this, especially as the spring - summer starts. A mate recommended Airwaves chewing gum - the menthol opens the lungs a bit and the mouth dryness (in between the heavy panting on hills) gone due to the mouth watering taste and it being a gum.
May not work for everyone, but I find it great and have turned back a few times when I have forgotten it - I am reminded by the dry mouth..... Don't think there are any banned substances in it either

Hope it helps.

Maybe you need to try something other than water. Be a case of trial and error until you get it right. Sorry can't be of help.

odd, i get this when nervous but not on a ride
