The Accelerade gels have protein and are not as sweet as others I've tried. I will also carry an emergency Clif bar, even though they are not the greatest tasting things in the world. AND if it's not hot out, I'll actually make a PBandJ for the back pocket instead of the Clif bar. I think the more real food I can eat on a ride, the better I feel and the less cranky my stomach gets.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510559913612634054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363088052151598696.post-76904891645458194312012-04-11T18:32:00.012-04:002012-04-11T18:32:00.012-04:00I like the gels best.

Buying lots of them can get exensive so I use this recipe:<br />http://bouldercyclingclub.org/2011/04/cycling-nutrition-organic-homemade-energy-gel/<br />I don't use the banana, and it keeps forever. I found a 6 oz. squeeze bottle at a bike shop that's a great size for stuffing into a jersey pocket.<br />Good Luck!Woofronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832007953152047999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363088052151598696.post-45965200870200901222012-04-11T08:20:34.691-04:002012-04-11T08:20:34.691-04:00Ha, I saw your 15th St route last night and I thou...Ha, I saw your 15th St route last night and I thought to myself, that couldn't have be good.<br /><br />When I'm doing an endurance event I usually load up on clif bars. Then mix it up with sweet things like those caffeine gummies and stinger waffles. I found that making sure I have a lot of variety is best for the various levels of fatigue and accompanying appetites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
