Half way stop on 26 mile ride???

I never go on a cycling trip without my wine gums! :D
And peanutbutter and jam sandwiches... http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/s...muede/g040.gif

I'll stick to my home made jam. :)

I had no idea they'd been around so long.

I did know they were German, because I was introduced to them by a guy who'd been in the US Army stationed in Germany in the 1970s, before they were imported to the USA. To this day, I still pronounce it "gummi" bears. People look at me funny. :p

Ah -- they did look more like Jujyfruits - and sounded too. (I just had to shake the box. No idea why!)

So, what's the difference in pronunciation between "gummy" and "gummi?"

You know, depending on the difficulty of the course, it's not a bad idea to have summer sausage or some other form of protein. At our ride the summer sausage paired with Triscuits and cheese are big movers.
