They are the perfect balance of sweet/tart/crack-like caffeine rush.

I can't wait. When looking for energy products they ought to have Crack like rush right on the bottle. I would buy it instantly. Crack heads get a lot accomplished considering there crack heads.

forget the power bars and cliff bars, go with fig bars, if you are economically challenged. Three fig bars are about equal to one power / cliff bar as far as carbs go.

Re: Long Ride Nutrition

I also like a few dried figs in the back pocket... cheaper, more natural and no wrappers to confuse and disturb you while riding and end up in the ditch (you and/or the wrapper). Sport drink mixtures, there are a million to choose from, to restore electrolytes. On a 40 miler in average warm weather I have a 750ml bottle with pure water and a 500ml with jazzed up sport drink, a little extra fructose and vitamins in it.
