Yeah, although I started the whole thread about the Sport Beans, i really don't do a ton of bars. (I'm all about candy of all kinds.) Food is food. You know whats great on a ride? Prosciutto...doesn't have to stay cold, salt, protien. Yummy.
Now chase it with chocolate milk....
I've got a friend who looks like he robbed a banana cart he carries so many in his jersey....

I carried around a Payday for my Brevet series, (thanks to hearing about them here) but I could never find it when I wanted it. It finally resurfaced a few weeks later, and I promptly ate it. i ahve no idea how it would taste on a ride.

Paydays rule
When I was a new midwife, I rewarded myself for working every 24 hour shift with (at least) one Payday bar. I think I gained 20# the first year! I decided to take my salary as my "reward" and to eat Paydays as special treats occasionally!
But I think an Oly triathlon and Imperial Century bike ride qualify as special occasions, no?!? Big plans for the summer!

20% off all Clif products at REI from May 5-14.
I'm assuming that includes Nectar bars. (Clif's copy of Lara bars)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
