Reply With QuoteDid you increase your water intake??
When I`m using creatine I always ADD another litre to a litre and a half, and have never had trouble....
Then again, other than the stationary bike at the gym, I don`t really ride, but I would think the cause would be the same thing.

creatine and cramping
Just wondering what you all thought of this:
I stopped taking creatine a few weeks ago because I was getting nasty side cramps during my mountain bike rides. It seemed like every time I would ride, I'd get cramps so bad that it hurt to breathe. I've heard of other bikers cramping up while on creatine. Since I stopped taking creatine, I have not cramped up on a ride once (and I ride basically all weekend). I am wondering if it's just psycological, or if maybe the creatine was causing the cramping. Looks to me like from now on, I will only take creatine in the cold-weather season so it does not interfere with my riding.
FYI, I was taking 5g creatine after my workouts. On non-workout days (including biking days), I'd take 5g with a morning shake.

It may not seem like it but biking uses alot! of water so you need to increase your intake drastically!!
The harder you try the tougher you will be!

Guys, if I drink any more water, I am going to be pissing every 10 minutes. I drink a LOT of water already. Probably six or seven 24 ounce bottles every day.

decrease your creatine intake to around 2 grams per day.
