[pedal pusher]

Hey Guys

 

I am not too sure what the best drink is to use while riding.I have tried a few like Biogen & Gu energy drink.I do not want to spend a fortune but will be doing a lot of riding over the next 3 months.

 

What suggestions are there?

There has been a looong thread about this recently, Im trying to remember what it something like "3Gthe stuff really works" or something like that, You will find the most information there, so do a search and enjoy the reading theres about 12 pages of it, and was quite informative.

Long rides: 2 bottles, Hammer-perpetum and water

 

Shorter rides: Vertargo

Try the Enervit range, it is availble at Dunkeld, Northcliff and Cylelab and dischem, use the enervit G for shorter rides and a mixture of Enervit G and Enervitene(carboloader) for a longer ride or stage racing. Enervit has been around for like 35yrs, they know what they are doing.

Extra Protein Offerings?

Epic Pro from USN. It is more expensive than other brands but it does work. Use it for training, racing and recovery. DM

I guess I should have read the 32gi thread,sounds like good stuff.I will give it a try.The price sounds pretty good for the amount of drink you get in a bottle

A long long time ago I used plain and simple Energade Megaload before a race and the used it when practising/racing, but only diluted. Seems like there are a lot more choices to make these days....

what ever you drink, just wash your bottle properly, look what happened to Ian - but i would agree EPIC PRO - got me through MTN Panorama tour,

wont use anything else now for long rides, short rides cyto power HP

Epic Pro works really well, the new flavor is also excellent.
