Yeah, you need to find out what works for you. Twinkies, stroopwafels, gels, donuts, chocolate scotheroos, rice cakes (great ideas in "Feed Zone Portables") all make it into my longer rides in different combinations. I do save the gels for last, though. Especially in the heat. I don't get tired of eating but I'm not hungry at all at the end of a ride.
- torgian 7y agoTrue that! Personally, I need to not have sugary stuff during a long, hard day in the saddle. In fact, yesterday was kind of an experiment ( a rather painful, crappy experiment ). Gels are great for the last 1/3 to half of the ride though. Straight energy and easy to take in. But even so, I have had gels that made my stomach feel like ass during the ride, so I tend to stick to SIS gels. They're the mildest, packed with carbs for the size, and dont have any coloring.
