hell yeah. like boiled down tree sap. i chug that shit like water.

Word. You're right, honey is different. But for me I'm rolling with what I can stomach because that's obligation #1 - if you get an upset stomach it doesn't matter who developed it, how much science is backing it, whatever. Getting a upset stomach when you have 25 miles to go absolutely sucks, takes your mind off the more important task of riding. For example, drinking fruit juice during a ride = kills my gut.

http://www.summitpost.org/article/239378/Home-Made-Power-Gels-Energy-for-Less.html real talk on all of that stuff. Honey provides mostly fast energy but is easy on the somach. Some maltodextrin added would mean putting in a slower carb that's also easy on the stomach. That aricle recommends a mix of brown rice syrup and honey, add in sea salt or replace the honey with malto altogether. Either way, read the ingredients of the products in the store, you're usually getting maltodextrin (dirt cheap, like $3/lb), brown rice syrup, couple other things. It's all bottom dollar ingredients for top dollar prices and hyped up... meh. I may get some better recipe going but for now honey/sea salt works fine on the 40+ mile rides.

So after reading that im gonna play with how to mix brown rice sugar, agave nectar, barley malt and espresso into something that tastes reasonable.

Shoot, between that and making my own energy bars (which I have done and were delicious, ive just been too lazy to make them again) this cycling habit of mine is becoming way more of a culinary experiment than I ever thought.

i am

I was one of them but mine is tubular. BTW it was fun trying to keep up with you in the race, i gotta change my gear.

You dont keep up with Kevin. He just pulls you while he yawns.

If you dont see Kevin while youre on the track, he is just behind you, drafting.

I think Kev is the Chuck Norris of track riding.
