    What type of sensitivity Jo? (if I mayb be so bold as to ask) I also have problems with sugar so would be curious if our issues are similar!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    My husband tried to make me drink Accelerade all last year and now I know why -- he was just trying to get rid of it!

    Now we both carry one bottle of water and one bottle of Gatorade, but since there are plenty of water stops on our bike trail he usually also carries a little plastic bottle of extra Gatorade mix and we replenish as needed. Red Bull scares me ... the one time I tried one of those caffeinated goo packets, I got the shakes about ten minutes later and he had to come back and get me with the car. (I am kind of a delicate flower about caffeine and sugar, though.)
