I'm all Hammer for gels. Love banana and at the double this weekend I tried apple cinnamon, which was also very good. Like applesauce.

I think Hammer stuff tries to use more complex carbs.

For drink we use Power Bar's Performance drink. I have started using their recovery drink during longer rides and it works well. Has some protein in it, similar to some of the hammer drink products. I was not able to drink the Hammer drinks when I tried at Knoxville double last year.
