I have become a big fam of the Hammer products--Heed is their powdered drink. I realized that I would anticipate a dread of the (to me) overly sweet and artificial taste of Cytomax. Heed is a very subtle lemon-lime taste, and is the one product that helps with leg cramps, which I tend to get after riding, and sometime during.

A couple of weeks ago at the Chico Wildflower century they had two kinds of Recharge, I think it was; the orange was OK but the grape was truly vile.
