Hi. Yep, as @BareNecessities mentioned, I’ve used maple syrup as a gel replacement in the past. It works great and as it’s 100% natural is easy on the stomach too.

Though you can buy it in many international food shops on the high street for about £3 a pack! Don’t get ripped off.
It’s tasty, easy to carry, contains everything you need for riding and is obviously natural (even down to the packaging, each piece is wrapped in a dried leaf so is biodegradable).
