Honey definitely works for me. Starfish is right, the Stinger folks make little honey snacks pre-packaged like Gu, but they are a little too much honey for me all at once most of the time. Adding honey to water would be a great idea, but glucose sounds like a better way to go if you can find the powder. I don't know where you'd get this, but you can also get glucose tablets (in drug stores, with diabetic supplies) the upside is that they hit you really quickly, the downside is that they usually have artificial flavors and aren't the *best* tasting thing (but if you've tried Gu...). Getting plain glucose powder sounds ideal...anyone know where you can buy this in the states?
