    I have. what do you need to know?
    It seems to work
    Taste well....
    The only thing is won't last long when mixed - it's starts to develop a sour milk taste after 6 hours(Yes, JoBob and Jiffer, I'm a certified crazy Lady)

    I was using Perpetuem for a while and it seemed to be fine, but when I used it on a moderately difficult hill climb I think it gave me a bit of an upset stomach. It might have been a combination of perpetuem with endurolyte capsusles, but I'm not too sure about that. I also noticed it had a slight fishy smell.

    Right now I'm trying out Spiz (www.spiz.net) and I'm going to give Sustained Energy a try as well at some point. I'm still in the experimentation phase ...

    If I recall correctly, Veronica prefers Sustained Energy. Mixed with Gatorade.

    :
    From what recall on Hammer website(www.ecaps.com) and thier Yahoo! list, if Prep start to smell, don't drink it! It has to do with the protein used in it.
    I'm considering switching to SE, since it seems more heat tolerant

    I have to be honest and say I just can not stand the taste of this stuff. I tried mixing it with Hammer Gel to hide the taste but alas I could still taste it.
    From what I have read the more concentrated the mix is the longer it will last in the heat. They have a blurb on the site about mixing it to a slightly liquid paste and carrying it in a gel flask. I think they recommend this way if you are taking it on long warm rides.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
