Then hold on tight and enjoy the ride!!!!!!
Pornstar Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Hahhhaaa... I was going to say that, the taste hangs around for 10sec...but it works, isnt that the point ??? I mean who loves the tadte of tequilla or jagerbombs..but you still drink that... maybe SA cyclists are just weak and we need to harden up ???? he hee

Because caffiene gives you a high but has a very steep drop off, meaning you can hit the wall if you don't take enough at the right intervals during a race. Do you have any recipe for consumption - maybe based on body weight & time a cyclist intends doing the race in.
Mudsimus Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Caffeine will have no effect on you hitting the wall. You can eat the whole gel. You wont even notice if and when the effects of the caffeine subsides.
Pornstar Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Yes we have designed the gels so you dont have a drop off...you do come down but you stop back at where you started at ?? i suggest 100mg caffeine every 2 hours, so dont take every gel as a green one, you can make every 3rd one a green one OR you can take green for every gel if you can handle the buzz
CAAD4 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Can you get it in the Virgin Islands, as It brings you down like a deflated balloon after flying like a rocket ?
Mudsimus Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 You can always pop a regmaker with that green gel. 250mg of caffeine...
Pornstar Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 becareful with that, you have an effect called gastric flushing and your bowls will open up and you will SH** your pants... some people are affected more than others, try what works best for you in training or races which arent that important
singletrackmind Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 This stuff works like a charm, much better then Gu in my opinion. Lasts longer and tastes better and you also get more for your money.
singletrackmind Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Geez Mud do you want to explode dude?

Zoo Cookie Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 i tried other gels before and some of them are just really hard to swollow - which for me - is not the case with whasp. a good sip of water gets rid of of any bad taste. for me it works well and i can certainly recommend it.
Pornstar Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks, anybody try the new pepto pro one yet ?? Dying for feedback ?
ThatRiderGuy Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Why do people criticise this product,I mean its bigger and contain more effective ingredients than the competition yet folks say its expensive.More carbs than Vooma,more in the product than GU,yet fear remains in the potential users. What were your thoughts the first time you tried GU? try it..yes KIWI isnt everybodies cup of tea but I would still be lying in a ditch next to the road if I didnt have them on hand..Lving it!
CAAD4 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Got my 2 boxes for the price of one at the expo and ordered my shirt. Viva the Green Mamba!
