On ride nutrition
Normally I have been eating Red Vines ( different brand but same as Twizzlers) for my on ride snacks. However, this may soon change if these work out nicely on my next ride!!!

Thought of that but I have a small flip top tin that would hold enough for snack purposes, and keep them away from the jersey in case of melting. Or just keep em in that resealable bag that will fit in the back pocket.

I have seriously thought of using Gummi bears as well. 
Honestly I tried some Gels before, and while they weren't bad, they are costly and honestly I doubt they would improve my performance enough to justify the cost/benefit.
These are what I really like  I got 1 tin as a gift and it worked great and very easy to use with the fliptop lid! Problem is I cant find them anywhere cept online and well other stuff is just easier to get.

+1 for the gummi stuff. In Australia, my hardcore roadie friends swear by the gummi snakes.
