In the past, we've always used PowerBars and PowerGels -- both of which contain sugars and would not, therefore, be suitable for use with Perpetuem. But what about things like pretzels, etc., that don't contain sugar? See, I like food. Actually, I'm a HUGE fan of food! The people at Hammer suggest not consuming anything other than Perpetuem, but looking forward to food is what motivates me to get to the next SAG. Do you really not get hungry on this stuff? 12-14 hours without a Snickers bar? Are they crazy?!!
Im afraid I can not give you any advice on how this product goes over really long rides because well the taste was just no good for me to use it on longer rides. I can however tell you that you can use Hammer Gels with Perpetuem. Here is a link explaining that - scroll down to fueling notes.
