I hope the Heed works for you - FOR ME Heed works great, and for rides over 2 hours I add in Accelerade (lemon-lime or mountain berry). Perpetuam just doesn't work for me as well as Accelerade.

I hope that you can work this out, but it sounds like you might be on the right track. I like Shot Blocs as well - they work for me.

This is such a personal thing that changes between individuals and our bodies. What works for one may not another - but of course we can't figure out what WILL work until we get into the longer rides. I have learned that I have to eat/drink a LOT on longer rides to keep my energy up but someone else may not need to do so...

Keep us posted on how things go.
