Raw honey a good substitute?

[VeloVT]

Thanks guys for all the great tips. I will do a trial run of honey in my Gel Bot and see if it works for me. I might add a little pb to it as Dianyla suggested. The glucose tablets is a definite idea since our drugstore carries them.

I have used the Carb-boom and liked it, but the bike shop is an hour away and I don't drive there as much with the steep gas prices.

Once you've found a flavor/brand of gel that you like, it's usually much cheaper to order it in quantity online than it is to buy a few in the store. Especially if you can find free shipping!

My stomach is luckily not very sensitive on the bike, but for running, GU & Carb boom gels upset my stomach but Power gel and Hammer gel do not.
