Hi Everyone,

We’re always trying to improve our charity sportives – The Macc Monster and upcoming PEAK 100 (Sunday 15th April).
In order to keep improving our sportives, we like to make sure the kit we give out to our participants is tailored to the event.
As you can imagine, one of the main things we give to our riders who come along on the day are energy powders and gels. However there’s a pretty big range to choose from!

We’ve had a lot of success with High 5’s products, but we have also used Science in Sport too, but we’re just trying to make sure we bring in the right stuff for our cyclists!
No one wants to try and climb up and over Axe Edge with a bad taste in water bottle!

Do you have a favourite energy product?
What do you think works best for you?

Thanks for your help!

Cudzoziemiec:
Bananas, apples and truly strong cheddar.

Jacomus:
Panda Soft Licorice bars are a favorite of mine.

Barely affected by heat and chewy enough that you can easily hold it in your teeth if you suddenly need two hands on the bars for some reason.

Delicious!

p.s. This isn't Licorice AllSorts style yucky stuff, this is soft and tasty.

Ben T:
On a sportive I'd probably use an energy drink, but for the real serious stuff like the most excellent Spring Into The Dales audax then I'd probably use a banana or two.  ;) O:-)

Mr Bunbury:
Indeed, I believe the most excellent SITD audax has bananas and water at the first control and one or two excellent cafes later in the ride.
