I always avoid energy gels, but went on a ride today where free trials were being given out. As we turned around to head home I thought i'd give my free gel a trial. It did the usual trick of making me feel ok for about 20 minutes but 40 minutes later my head caved in. It takes me 45 minutes to get into fat burning pathway, if I stick sugar in my body goes back to burning sugar, caning glycogen and then I bonk.
Jason - when are you and the lady next in the big smoke?
Munchies win!
