There's a new product out, made from honey. It's called Honey Stinger, besides having honey in it, it's got B complex vitamins too.

From their website: Honey Stinger uses honey as the main source of carbohydrates, as opposed to man made carbohydrates commonly found in other energy gels. Studies show that honey is low on the glycemic index and therefore provides a long, steady source of energy instead of a spike and crash. Honey is also a natural source of antioxidants.

I found some at REI in San Carlos, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet - maybe when the Cindy rides go to Calaveras?
