I've been using Perpetuem for several years now. For me, it has an improved taste over its predecessor. But the biggest improvement is how much easier it is to mix and dissolve. Although it can take some time by hand, I now also use a battery-operated frother. I put one scoop of Perpetuem in about 4 ounces of water, froth to mix it, and put it in the refrigerator. Just before I set out on my bike ride, I drink it. That mix and balanced electrolytes in my water bottles pretty well carry me through a 45-mile ride with my club. 32 servings turn into 64.
This has never let me down. Great for longer distances. Can be used as a stand alone. Never going to get a sugar crash either. I used this exclusively for this year�s 100 Mile Unbound. No need to take any solids.
I use perpetuum on most rides. About 2/3 scoop to a regular bottle. Works great. But I wish they still offered the orange vanilla flavor - it was like a creamsicle.
When I'm going to be on the bike for 6 hours or more, Perpetuem is my "go to" fuel. I've tried just about everything and nothing compares. It provides the sustained energy I need to get home. It's easy to consume and easy on my digestive tract. Can't say enough about this wonderful product. Wash it down after the race with Recoverite and you'll be back in the saddle in no time!
Great stuff used a long time. AIDS recovery for me and enjoy good flavor and no crappy taste!
I mix with Heed for rides over 2 hrs and goes down easier than bars or gels and really prevents bonking
