Hi Guys,
Not been on here for long but was just wondering what you use for food/drink on rides?
I've been riding for a few years now and tried SIS, unflavoured maltodextrin, Powerbar, Maxim and High5 as well as just squash and a banana!
I tried SIS first and it was highly recommended to me but it sometimes didn't agree with my stomach. A mate of mine offered me some maltodextrin (he was a sport scientist) which is basically the main ingredient in most sports drinks but I never felt like it was giving me any extra energy!
Powerbar and Maxim seem to work well, especially the bars.
My personal favourite is High5. I've not had an upset tummy from it yet and I can really feel a difference when using it. I'm not really sure what to make of their research or their testing - they've made some bold claims though.
Is it worth spending the money on these products? What works best for you?
