    A protein bar with added magnesium or some electrolyte drinks with magnesium.

    Potassium is another electrolyte that is lost in sweat and that can cause cramps. If you are well hydrated before your ride, stay hydrated and replace electrolytes during your ride with something like Gatorade, you should be fine.
