Energy gels

[Snapper88]

After having a SiS orange energy gel on a ride last week I got to thinking what other high energy source I could use as I didn't like the texture of the gel (I'm sure you get used to it after awhile)

Being a beekeeper I'm thinking honey in a wrapper like the gels. Anyone tried this?

Try an isogel instead of a normal one, they're less thick.

Jelly babies, I am with you on the texture of gels...yuck

I will look out for some isogels. Hopefully my local tesco have some.

Jelly babies are ok think I will get more energy from my honey though (plus the honey is free)

I like these gels but everyone round here has stopped selling them in favour of the SIS ones, so I now buy them but in comparison the SIS ones are like swallowing a slug:

I kind of remember reading a previous thread about making gels out of honey at some point. Cant remember when I read it, where I was reading it from or how it turned out though. So on a scale of useless to 10 I'd rate my knowledge as a grade G......

Rhubarb and custard isnt bad. I had the strawberry one too fantastic

The rhubarb one isnt bad.

I have the pineaple and ginger bar in the cupboard, not tested yet tho.

Give the banoffee one a miss though. I use the high5 gels now though as i find the citrus flavours more palatable when the gel has been warmed up in a sweaty pocket for a couple of hours.

SIS products are minging. Particularly the bars, which take about three quarters of an hour to chew. Try Clif bars & gels instead.
