Reviews
Used the Gu gels with caffeine for a 300 mile gravel race that started at midnight. These were great to keep me going just before sunup when I know my body would come back to life. Great flavor with a caffeine punch in a small easy to carry size.
These are some of my favorite ways to refuel while riding. Good flavors and easy to eat, although can occasionally be a little messysticky and I have to be careful about squeezing it up while riding.
My favorite flavors are caramel, vanilla, and caramel macchiato, all with caffeine.
I usually take two servings at the rest stop in the middle of the ride and two at the end . I like the taste especially the vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter flavors. I use the gels because I have angina and cannot digest bulky food without feeling distress on the rest of the ride.

Different brands and flavors of gel sit differently in each individual's stomach. Gu seems to be the best for me. The birthday cake flavor tastes like cake icing. I'm rarely out of dessert but I bet it would work in a pinch.
I use GU Gels on every ride. They are easy to consume while riding and I typically consume one every 30-45 minutes. The GU Gels are easy to digest and provide the extra energy to maintain good performance.
My only peeve with this and like products is that it gets everywhere (your cloths, bag, gloves, and your hands). Maybe there is a neat way of consuming this. I wouldnt mind sucking on something that could easily be resealed. It is not worth the hassle for me though.
If the packaging was dynamic and you could easily select the correct size you wanted, then emptying one of these in a go would be nearly prefect. Yet you have to think about delivery time and hand time. Especially for cycling, I would like to keep my hands on the handle bars and spend only a bit of time grabbing comforts (food, what have you not).
