Poor (wo)man's Gel Bot

Why not just mix the gel into the water? I carry one water bottle with a blend of Endurox and gel. Tastes weird, but boosts you up the hills!

Our LBS finally got the Gel Bots in. Since it's so hot here, I usually freeze the water bottles and head out. I've not tried it with the Gel Bot because I don't know how Carb Boom freezes. Anyone know?
My first blunder with the Gel Bot happened when I didn't secure the lid to the gel thingie and when I pulled the lid from the bottle, the gel thingy slipped down to the bottom of the bottle. Then the Carb-Boom dissolved into the water.
Today I took it and used the chocolate cherry flavored Carb Boom and it worked fine. I need to remember to bring extra gels though. I wonder if the manufacturer will eventually offer larger size gel thingies so that you can actually put 2 gels in the bottle?
