SIS alternatives - what’s your preferred brand of Energy On the Go
Hey all,
I always have an SIS energy gel on me in case I bonk and if I’m planning 100k or more I’ll usually have a couple and a bar. I was recently about to place an order for another couple of boxes, but paused to think for a second that I’ve never really considered other brands of energy gels and bars.
I dont use use them often, just for extra long rides and what not, but in a bid to explore new flavours and textures I thought I’d perhaps see what else you all use.
I don’t use whey or protein, but would be curious to know if you do as part of your regim and what your preferred brand is?

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.

I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s

I’ve used many but always come back to SIS.
I managed a pre breakfast 100km last month without any signs of bonking, otherwise I just go out with bananas and water. Can't be arsed paying for the marketing bits that gels need.
