I usually take two servings at the rest stop in the middle of the ride and two at the end . I like the taste especially the vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter flavors. I use the gels because I have angina and cannot digest bulky food without feeling distress on the rest of the ride.
Perhaps
Like product and use on my road bike rides
I like the gu for a snack on one hour rides
These are good gel packs for last miles pick-me-up.
A good boost on a 50 mile ride.
I use 2 Gu's and if I haven't eaten recently I have a Cliff Bar too.
That keeps my energy up on the last 45 min home stretch.
Good taste with a boost
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.
Mocha flavor tastes good.
I typically have one just before I start riding; always have along to forestall the dreaded bonk.
I use these on just about every ride. Recently completed another century ride with this reliable nutrition.
It tastes great and does the job. What more could I ask from an energy gel?
I rode across the country last year and lived on those gels. I tried them all and GU is the best. Great tastes and good consistency. Not too solid and not too liquid. Eat one every ten miles and the engine keeps going.
These gels are bussin' Work great and taste great!
Gu has always given me a boost, the price gave me even more of a good boost
Of all of the energy gels, GU are consistently my favorite. I don't think they work any better or worse than anyone else's product. I just prefer the flavor and consistency of GU gels to the other options.
I like the cola mid- or immediately post-ride to ward off the bonk demons :)
I use this product as directed, taking 1 every 45 minutes during my rides. I prefer the ones with caffeine that my friend who is a personal trainer recommended. Helps to keep me fueled and stave off cramps.
I have to say I am not a big gel fan. This one tastes ok and keeps me going, all in a small package
I fell an energy boost about 10 mins. after one of these on a 30 mile ride.
