I've been using these GU mandarin,energy Gels for many years. I enjoy one while stretching out before a ride. And have always included one at my rest or halfway point. Plus an extra one on board for a hard ride. I used to think maybe GU energy gels were just for taste. But seeing how many runners also use them diligently for their runs. Has kept me believing.
I have used this for years! Love it.
The strawberry banana is my favorite flavor. I started using it back when I first started running marathons and kept using it when I started cycling.
Antidotal or scientific, you be the judge. Since I've included the GU gel in my riding routine, I have not suffered from leg cramps and my riding energy level has been great. I like the variety of flavors, the ease of opening the packages, and the convenience of stuffing the empty ones in my shirt pocket. Other than occasional sticky fingers should I come in contact with any of the gel, I give GU gels high marks.
These are some of my favorite ways to refuel while riding. Good flavors and easy to eat, although can occasionally be a little messysticky and I have to be careful about squeezing it up while riding.
My favorite flavors are caramel, vanilla, and caramel macchiato, all with caffeine.
I get the desired boost of energy from these GU Gels without ever a hint of stomach distress. Never tried a flavor I didn't like.
My wife things the caramel gels are amazing. I prefer the fruity flavors. They all seem to keep us going on bike rides and long hikes.
As the title indicates I am that lone cyclist who never drinks coffee so, when I'm lagging on the bike, popping one of these provides the necessary physiological (psychological?) boost.
Great tasting! Just what you need for those long rides.
I depend on these GU energy gels for my pre-ride and recharge along the route. They are hard to find in the flavor I prefer and very expensive. Buying this box on sale beat the retail price greatly!
Compact in size and a great energy booster!
I am very impressed with this product. I use it on my long rides, it is very effect. Good price and very compact.
The GU energy gel packs are a good flavor. So long bike rides (60+ miles) take one before we head out and then one every hour. Keeps my energy level up and no lows.
Just make sure u chase it with water.
Excellent! Love the caffeine content in this!
These are good gel packs for last miles pick-me-up.
I use this product as a snack when on rides of two hours or less
Good taste with a boost
I use GU Energy Gels as my go to fuel when I am cycling. They easily digest and give me the extra calories to ride harder and further.
We tried out the Salted Caramel. It only has the taste of a hint of vanilla. Consistency is OK, not too thick.
I've tried different brands and flavors but GU salted caramel is my favorite.
