For my personal experience, I like redbull or rockstar juiced before a ride, but it's by no means necessary. I don't know that I see that much of an enhancement other than a general increase in alertness.
oh, and I can't do coffee- it makes me have to pee too much, too often. Not fun when trying to do a long ride/stay properly hydrated. For some reason, caffeine pills, redbull and rockstar don't have this effect on me. hmm.

Same here, coffee goes RIGHT through me, and it may sound crazy, but I kinda like the sweet and sour taste of them..it's probably just a mental thing, but ANYTHING to get me going on those days, when my brain says GO and my body says NO.
