I ought to clarify

accelerade as pre-ride drink is fine. not the best tasting, but it does seem to help with fueling and muscle strength, isn't terrible to drink and I feel better post-ride if I've used the pre-ride drink.
DURING a ride, accelerade is horrible. thick and icky and blech. considering the gatorade I drink during a ride is seriously watered down, I think that's understandble, though. heh

I tried endurox after kickboxing last night. went down easily, I maintained good energy and I didn't have to eat snacks later (I was day-dreaming about popcorn with butter and hot sauce, but realized by 9:30 that I didn't need it so I went to bed! yay!)

I plan to give cytomax a try, but I'm afraid I'll probably have to leave out the cut with crystal lite. I don't tolerate aspartame very well (can you say heart palpitations and shortness of breath?)....oh, and turns out I don't tolerate sucralose well either (can you say massive migraine? ouch!)

what is it with these darned bodies we were issued? mine's defective on several levels! If this was a toaster I would have taken it back within 30 days!! hahahahahaha

namaste,
