Lucozade powder

[Cordulegaster]

I'm a creature of habit. For my road bike trips, I have one bottle of water and one of Lucozade sport made up from the powder. Its seems to be electrolytes and carbohydrates but suits me. Having the powder probably doesn't save money but its convenient and better for the environment than all those bottles and food miles.

However, I cant seem to get the powder anywhere so I've got to change. I don't need all the body building ingredients, just something to keep me going on the rides, which are usually 30-50k.

What works for you?

I was given a tub of Torq powder recently, pink grapefruit flavour. I've found it very palletable and not to sweet like many additives. I've used SIS stuff before but must say the Torq is much nicer.

Lucozade powder is very available, even from Amazon <linky>

Thanks for two useful replies! I didn't think of Amazon ;-( Boots & Wiggle seem to have stopped stocking and its not shown on the GSK, Lucozade website anymore. Could be just temporary. I'll try Torq as back up. I should have read the thread https://www.cyclechat.net/ before posting!

Cup me tea before leaving. 1 bottle water and 1 med banana does me.
