Cliff shot blocks/gu chompers

take the out of the packaging and put them in ziplock snack size bags....then you can eat them one at a time and reseal the bag...use a bento box.  I like the cliff shots but its personal preference.   I also use the small size air heads (47 calories each ) and those gel orange slice candies(47-50 calories each) cheep readily available and easy to carry

Gu Chomps do not melt or get sticky in the heat.  They are made with tapioca flour and retain their shape and non-stickyness in Georgia in mid-90+ degree temps in my Bento box when my Gu packets were the temperature of lava.  I just put the regular package in my Bento - but it would work Ok in your jersey pocket.  Have not tried this with Cliff Shots but imagine that they are equally stable.

thanks for all the advice.

Used em for a 100 mile ride for first 3 hrs with my infinit/carbopro mix.

Although it was just above 60 degrees, good to know  theyll hold up in the heat.
I agree with the packacking. Just bite of the top and then they can slide or use your teeth to
to get out the amount you need. Put them in the bento box after popping them to get the air
out so they could fold in half nicely. Tried in my bike jersey too incase i want to go without the bento.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Timely topic!  I am adding in the shot blocks myself next week.  I have been using gels and water.  However, taking in a gel every 20 to 30 minutes over 6 to 7 hours just gets disgusting.  I am hoping the variation in texture and taste with help while still getting the calories and electrolytes I need.  I am glad to hear others have had good luck with this.
