Thumbs up for Rolaids for cramps

[ajax]

Always been plagued with various leg muscles cramping - typically 80 miles into a century and continuing off-and-on for a couple days later, especially when laying in bed. Stretching, nutrition, electrolytes (Gatorade, salt tablets, Elete, Pickle Juice) are all well and good but couldn't hold off these cramps. Recently, I did an internet search on the problem (which I thought was confined to this forum, but may have strayed elsewhere) and found a tip on Rolaids as a calcium and magnesium supplement. I consumed several during a recent 102 mile training ride and was symptom-free even when I picked up the pace at the end. I did get a touch of cramps in bed that night but chewed a couple more Rolaids and that was the end of it.

I'm unable to find the post that made the Rolaids suggestion, so I'm throwing this out there - THANK YOU VERY MUCH
