Those winners are Ok - didn't do much for Cadel though
Don't buy Power Bars Gels on special unless you feel the product first - they are usually get harder as they get older

It's much cheaper, more palatable and doesn't leave crude stuck to your teeth for the next 30 minutes.
So far so good.
Still throw a couple of gels into the bottles and straight down on 4 hour + rides as well.

You guys can also buy energy bars on line. Get a box if you want and it will last you for a long time.

Some people get upset stomachs - I've pretty much trained my stomach over the years to withstand all types of abuse so I don't have a problem. I also throw some in the water bottles for longer rides as it is a more convenient way of eating them.
I nearly bonked in the ATB a couple of years back and by exceeding the recommended usage of gels (I had about 5-6 in one go) the last 30km where a breeze

Yes but because they are full of sugar (I believe) they wreck your teeth, so my dentist said wash down with water. I don’t use them anymore. I only drink water on rides now. I became paranoid about it.amt wrote:you can eat the gels straight can't you?

You think that's bad? Ask your dentist about Gatorade/Powerade or the like and watch their face turn white!!!!!!! Actually, my dentist is Malaysian but let's not get into that right now!!pine wrote:Yes but because they are full of sugar (I believe) they wreck your teeth, so my dentist said wash down with water.

Stick to water and fruit cake or bars unless it's a big event.

couldnt recommend a diet of gels though, your poos would be... interesting and probably all your teeth would fall out

Lots of sugar in them yes! If you're really worried about it, stop drinking any fizzy drinks - they are far worse!
Carb bars, gels and drinks are personal to the rider, I don't work well with other manufacturers or even alternatives like jam sandwiches. But I know others that do! I have a high metabolism, that needs a boost every 2 hours or so, regardless of cycling or not. Friends hate it when we are out, as I need food regularly. My doctor and trainer say's it's fine, so for me I'll stick to the gels. etc.
