Amazing boost to the legs...always use them on rides greater than 30 miles
Review by GF of ACC
Of all the flavors, the Margarita is the best in my opinion. I think that they really help get over that little hump when its hot and you need just a little boost to get you home.

Tastes good, does what it's supposed to do.

I use them on bike rides all the time. Easy to store. I just cut off the tip before I start and just suck on them. They taste great.

We have been using Shot Bloks for years and they never disappoint with the energy they provide on long rides, especially when complemented with Clif bars or other more substantial foods.

Way better than sticky gel shots,
I think Mountian Berry has the best flavor

I've been looking for something to carry with me on long rides but not needing any caffeine, this has fit what I need perfectly.

I keep the opened bag of BLOKS in my jersey pocket to eat while I ride
Review by Spencer
I first started eating shot bloks on the bike many years ago when someone threw me a pack of them on a long hot group ride. Since then, I've been ordering them by the case!
Excellent tasty treat to munch on for much needed calories. Very easy on the stomach!
Cran Raz is amazing!

I found these work well for a quick pick me up. Monitor how many you're using if you use a gel with caffeine. You can get overloaded.

Bar none, the best energy food for a long road ride. Easy to handle, easy to eat, and good sustained energy - I never get on the bike without them - whether doing the daily 30 mile loop or a weekend century!

I knew about and have used Cliff bars with great results for years, so when I saw the Shot Blocks it was a no brainer, I bought a bunch, regular, caffeine and sodium.
I always ride with at least two packs which I pre-open by cutting off one end, this way I can reach back, grab the package, find the open end a squeeze two into my mouth about every half hour. I try and time it so I eat them about ten to fifteen minutes before a climb and they work great. In the summer I keep them refrigerated for a little extra treat and I rotate between normal or caffeinated and sodium to keep from getting bonked during long rides on hot days.

The Clif Shot Bloks Energy Chews are a staple energy source for all of my exercise regimes! Whether its Ice Hockey, Mountain Biking, Road Cycling, or Swimming I have realized some very positive results when using the Shot Bloks prior to and during my exercise! And always remember to hydrate when consuming The Bloks! Well done Clif!

Bought box of Cran-Razz to go through the summer's rides. Favorite flavor!
Review by Napa Valley Cyclist
I noticed at the end of a long ride (50 hilly miles or more) is where the blocks pay off for me. They provide me a lift to finish strong. I also use them for long drives, they keep me from getting sleepy behind the wheel. And, they taste good to boot, and are not messy like the gels. I highly recommend them.

Miles into a long ride, pop two or three shot bloks about ten to fifteen minutes before a serious climb. Hydrate after taking and just before the climb. Red Bull may give you wings, Shot Bloks gives you legs! You'll pull a higher gear longer and crest the climb stronger.
It would be nice if the packages opened easier, I preopen my Shot Bloks and Cliff Bars prior to the ride, so I don't have to fight the packaging while riding.
