I can't remember where I saw this idea on BT, but thank you to who ever gave me the idea to try gummie bears while riding. They seem to be just as good as any uncaffeniated energy product. Plus they are about 10 calories apeice, so it is easy to keep trackof my intake.

I'm a coke bottle girl ... and seriously ... the Organic ones from Shoppers Drug Mart are killer! (They're extra chewy!) *laughing*

I'm all about the candy!

Gummy bears rock! Whooohoooooo!

Ok I LOVE GUMMIE BEARS!! They work great for me. Clif has shots but they are not the same at all to big and thick not soft and small! I have been using the Welch kind which come in a small pack which I find to be easy to get too!

On your right

An interesting thing with gummy bears, is that they'll absorb liquids fairly well. When I was in college, we would soak the bears in rum over night to make "rummy bears". I bet this same idea could be applied to gummy bears with something like gatorade. Then you could get your snack, plus some extra electrolytes and such. They'd be much heavier, and who knows how much of the good stuff they'd absorb, but it might be neat to try sometime.

Just be careful with the intensity you try this at.

I thought PB crackers were the greatest thing EVER when riding. Until I tried to eat them during an Oly when I was biking at threshold.

I forsee the same issue with gummy bears...might be tough to chew when working hard.

To another poster...I think the shot bloks are WAY easier to eat than gummy bears...not sure what you are talking about with them being thick...they are much softer than any gummy bears I have ever tried...unless it's below about 40 degrees out...then they are about as stiff as gummy bears.
