You can get 2kg Enduren on buycycle.co.za for about R320 I think, which works out more or less the same price as Game and Energade, but works better. Water does not give energy and for mtb climbing you need plenty energy, I see people on only water drink a lot more than me on Enduren. I also have a small bag of Energade jellies (available from Game (the store)) in my back pocket.

Ooh, ooh. Ask @davegeorge101... No wait, he's also a roadie.

I think it's Froome.

 

Yes but if he uses Vooma gel Froome will go Vroom Vroom

The keyword to the Coke is diluted because that implies FLAT Coke. Learned that the hard way as I was late for a race once and took empty bottles along. Filled up with Coke, entered the start pen, attempted a sip and had Coke on my glasses, behind my glasses, down my throat, up my nose.. and then the gun went. Was a very sticky ride

 

I did that with one of the High5 tablet things, but it was fortunately during training. I dropped it into the bottle, closed the lid, shook it around and put it into my bottle cage. I only realised that it was carbonated halfway around the track (Kyalami race track) when I pulled the lid open with my teeth and ended up with the stuff on my face, legs, shirt, shorts, bike and up my nose.

Froome hit a pedestrian a week or 2 back.

To the OP what my learned collegues are trying to convey is this.

 

Energy drinks are weird what works for some doesnt work for others, youll have to try them and see which one works best for you personally.

 

I personally prefer Hammer, because its a mix of complex natural carbs, and its not very sweet. The longer you ride the sweeter your drink gets for some reason.

 

32gi works great for some doesnt work at all for others basically becuase to use 32gi if you cant take in any other kind of sugar i.e. sugar in your coffee before you ride, no sugar in your serial, and no glass of coke at the water point. If you do it renders the stuff useless.

 

Now that i have bought a new bike and is a poor again, im using evox, but only for a pre ride drink, while i ride i only use water, but long distance races ill still use hammer perpetium (unflavoured) doesnt taste like much but works like a charm.

I dont give a crap some mtb dude fronting as a roadie I guess and @davidgeorge tried to slipstream his teamie in the epic cause he was just trying to hang on to a real mtbiker and then hit the tip of a bushmen spear rock and ended their epic dream.
