Guest Agteros Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 So the corned beef might/will (pick one) work for the cramps, but what do you do for the vomiting after the corned beef?
FanieFiets Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Personally suck a soothing Rennies' date=' will probably take care of the cramp a lot quicker and it is far lighter and more practicle than carrying a can of bully beef in your back pocket. But should you prefer the bully beef get one of those cans with the key cause if you forget your can opener not only are you going to have cramp but your problems will be further compounded by having to find a suitable rock to bust open your can. [/quote'] hhahahahaha, very good! Nope, never heard that bully beef works. But I cant imagine eating a can of bully beef before a race or during. Problem with cramping is that no-one knows for sure what causes cramping, fact. Different people respond differently to remedies.
Spud Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 What? do you rub it on your legs? Yeah' date=' what with the smell and all the neighbourhood dogs chasing you, you forget all about the cramps. [/quote']Cool... I'm gonna try it on tonight's ride... So the cramps go when the dogs hump your legs?
Spud Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Lol sorry could not resist....but yes Rennies does work very well for cramp....little trick I learnt from a fellow rider in Suikerbos after a heavy night of drinking.....felt it comming on got a Rennies from him and it worked like a bomb. Yuck! Those things give me heartburn!
Nedrider Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I am really worried about cramping and will try anything but rubbing cornedbeef on my legs. Is it the RENNIES story really true guys?. Am I correct that you take the Rennies after you start cramping and not as a preventative?

And that weirdo sourkraut didn't rock up, so I got fockall action...

Is it the RENNIES story really true guys?. Am I correct that you take the Rennies after you start cramping and not as a preventative? dont let these fools mislead you. you eat the corned beef put a slice on a roll with some mayo and eat it. i am using rennies at the moment and it works fine. as soon as you feel the warning shot in your legs, take 1 to 3 rennies with some water. whether it is the placebo effect or whether it really does something i dont know. just know that i dont cramp with the rennies.

I am glad you do have a testimony. I will pack some Rennies. Another buddy of mine tells me he took ENO also at one point when he cramped and it worked. For now I will try the Rennies if it doesn't work I will rub the corned beef Nedrider2008-11-13 06:01:41
