Really? the buggers!
Condor and Sigma sell them for £15.00 for a 10 pack!
Does anybody know of a Columbian Deli in town? central London?
Bsample
By the way chaps what are your favoured cycling foods etc.. for these type of events?
I'm not a great bike food eater I always have to remind myself and then force feed the gunk down.
However since Condor and now Sigma have started to stock them I'm very much into Lucho Dellitos guava based energy blocks. They don't give me Hulk-like power boosts it's more subtle than that. I kind of use them for short rides or as an intermediate top-up on long rides.
The other ones I consume on longer sorties are Zipvit protein recovery bars (choc) these work better for me than the actual energy bars.
And for pre-race or the starting line I eat Veloforte's these are really dense and natural and don't make me feel sick.
I wish I could get an endless supply of Fanny's farm scones and rock cakes, those used to perk me up no end on the old London to Brighton runs.
