What do you fuel with on your ride?

[Shawn Gossman]

Do you use gels, chews, electrolytes, and other fueling sources like that when you bike?

If so, what ones do you use?

What are your favorite brands?

Different sources depending on the type of ride. Long solo endurance: Fig bars and Sword drink mix. Long group rides: gels and drink mix (i suck at eating on these). Short rides (under 2 hours): suck it up and eat after

I prefer fasting for morning rides. But afternoon rides I use GU gels as for drink mix I typically use bcaa drink mix. The amino mixes usually have enough electrolytes in them.

What's sword drink mix?

GU is definitely my go-to. It used to make me sick to eat it. Now I like it a lot.

What's sword drink mix?

Sword drink mix. It's similar to other drink mixes (240kcal | 30g carbs | 400mg Na). I'm fully aware that it's not the perfect ratio of hydration and carbs, but I'm hesitant to move away because I've used it for so long. May try scratch this year, but not sure.

That's why I stick to GU tabs. I've used them for a long time. I also did Hammer Nutrition tabs and they were really good.

I really like Skratch Labs chews. Unfortunately they discontinued my favorite flavor Blueberry.

Bought me some Rip Van Wafers to try out. Really good! Picked them up at The Feed. I miss the curated boxes they used to have back years ago.
