What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

Any of you guys have favorite liquid calories for cycling?

Beer. Okay, maybe that's post-cycling...although my Friday trainer work-outs were rather enhanced by beer.

I haven't tried anything other than Gatorade (because I'm poor and it's readily available). It doesn't sit all that well with me unless I dilute it at least somewhat--and only one flavor. I've been better-served by using shot blocks or Sports Beans (my grocery store carries them). They get burned off quite rapidly, so I don't really notice them sitting in my stomach.

Hammer Perpetuem. Quality ingredients and easily digestible. I simply would not take in enough calories otherwise. And for me, on endurance rides that include overnight riding, I DEFINITELY did not eat enough after the sun went down before I started using Perpeturm. Without calories in my bottles I would not be consuming enough.

I also like Gu Brew if I want carb-only drinks. (Perpetuem has some protein, which I prefer over an all carb drink on endurance rides.)
