Every ride is a good ride with a couple of these great gels in your pocket.

My go-to gel for ~25 years, though some of the flavors don�t agree with me at all. Most flavors are quite strong, so may want to explore other options if that�s an issue for you.

I use this in a very calculated way and time my intake on every ride. It always gives me the pick up I needed
Review by GCGravel
Used the Gu gels with caffeine for a 300 mile gravel race that started at midnight. These were great to keep me going just before sunup when I know my body would come back to life. Great flavor with a caffeine punch in a small easy to carry size.

I get the desired boost of energy from these GU Gels without ever a hint of stomach distress. Never tried a flavor I didn�t like.

Good taste with a boost
Review by Mike
These are some of my favorite ways to refuel while riding. Good flavors and easy to eat, although can occasionally be a little messysticky and I have to be careful about squeezing it up while riding.
My favorite flavors are caramel, vanilla, and caramel macchiato, all with caffeine.

Mocha flavor tastes good.

The GU energy gel packs are a good flavor. So long bike rides (60+ miles) take one before we head out and then one every hour. Keeps my energy level up and no lows.
Just make sure u chase it with water.

This was my first time with the cola flavored gels was very good. Great product that helped me get through my 63 mile gravel ride. Would definitely purchase again.

I typically have one just before I start riding; always have along to forestall the dreaded bonk.

I use GU Energy Gels as my go to fuel when I am cycling. They easily digest and give me the extra calories to ride harder and further.
Review by N.J cyclist
I usually take two servings at the rest stop in the middle of the ride and two at the end . I like the taste especially the vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter flavors. I use the gels because I have angina and cannot digest bulky food without feeling distress on the rest of the ride.
Perhaps

I always bought gu energy gel. Nothing else.
Review by Endyrider
Easy to carry. Tastes great. Works as advertised. Takes time to get all product out of container. Sticky if gets on hands. Packaging is messy to dispose of.
Review by Ryan
Different brands and flavors of gel sit differently in each individual's stomach. Gu seems to be the best for me. The birthday cake flavor tastes like cake icing. I'm rarely out of dessert but I bet it would work in a pinch.

My only peeve with this and like products is that it gets everywhere (your cloths, bag, gloves, and your hands). Maybe there is a neat way of consuming this. I wouldnt mind sucking on something that could easily be resealed. It is not worth the hassle for me though.
If the packaging was dynamic and you could easily select the correct size you wanted, then emptying one of these in a go would be nearly prefect. Yet you have to think about delivery time and hand time. Especially for cycling, I would like to keep my hands on the handle bars and spend only a bit of time grabbing comforts (food, what have you not).

I use GU Gels on every ride. They are easy to consume while riding and I typically consume one every 30-45 minutes. The GU Gels are easy to digest and provide the extra energy to maintain good performance.
