Great after working all day

It doesn't matter how well I eat or how hydrated I am, I'm exhausted after work and the commute home is sometimes awful. If I use Gu and a little bit of water and/or coffee I'm generally able to power through. It's not a guarantee, but I feel much better climbing hills after being on my feet all day.

Thank you for your feedback.

LOVE THE FLAVOR

I use a variety of different flavors. This new Lemon flavor is one of my favorites. I will reorder this one as long as it is offered. If you like a non-tart lemon flavor you should give this one a try.

Thank you for your feedback.

Tastefully nude has no 'Natural Flavor' thanks so much GU for this option!!

I like to ingest as little 'Natural Flavor' as possible and the Tastefully Nude is free of that chemical flavor enhancer that goes in just about anything and everything. BTD had a very nice sale so these were reasonably priced, but most would agree this sports nutrition market in general is way overpriced.

Thank you for your feedback.

Gu is the super gel that keeps you going!

WOW! Not only does Gu taste amazing, it also keeps me feeling extremely strong during my races. I always need a good caffeine boost in the middle of races to get me to the end of a hard race, and this gel does the job. I love the variety of flavors that are offered, and this will be an item I continue to use

Thank you for your feedback.

Anti Bonk Elixer!

As suggested,15 minutes before a ride & 45 minutes into it. Has proved to be an energy fueled guaranteed,bicycle ride consistently. With proper hydration & one or two packs in my jersey pocket has been a terrific formula. I have a runner friend who also swears by using GU energy gels during her runs. I take them along with a Power Bar & cheese sticks in my jersey pockets.

Thank you for your feedback.

Effective source of energy

I have been using GU gels for forever. It really does pick you up when you need it. I usually fill my gel flask with gu and water, shake well to mix and put it in my jersey pocket. Easier than fumbling with single serving packets. If I anticipate a long ride, I do carry a couple of extra single packets just in case. Vanilla Bean is my go to. As long as it works and they don't change the formula I will keep using them.

Thank you for your feedback.

My first choice

GU Vanilla Bean is my go to workout booster. I usually pop a gel at the 1 hour mark of a 2+ hour bike ride and it gives me the extra "umph" that i need without that nauseous feeling.

Thank you for your feedback.

My favorite flavor

The strawberry banana is my favorite flavor. I started using it back when I first started running marathons and kept using it when I started cycling.

My 'go to' gel!!

First tried these at an aid station while riding a century. They've been my favorite gel since then. Why? They digest easily, come in a multitude of tasty flavors, and give amino acids, carbs, and even caffeine if you want or need it. I always start with one prior to riding and use one each hour if riding , when not munching on 'real' food.

Tip: use the GU Roctane gel for harder climbs or longer rides. Easy on the stomach, easy to carry, and easy to use while en route. .

Thank you for your feedback.

I've never bonked with these on board!

I've been using these GU mandarin,energy Gels for many years. I enjoy one while stretching out before a ride. And have always included one at my rest or halfway point. Plus an extra one on board for a hard ride. I used to think maybe GU energy gels were just for taste. But seeing how many runners also use them diligently for their runs. Has kept me believing.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great product and service.

I've been using the standard GU gel packs for more years than I can remember, not only for bicycle rides but other athletic endeavors as well. It is one of the few nutritional products I have found that performs exactly as it promises, and offers diverse tasty flavors with varying caffeine levels. Great product! Biketiresdirect always offers the best prices, with free shipping, and speedy delivery dates. Year in and year out I continue to be very impressed by both.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great for non-coffee drinkers!

As the title indicates I am that lone cyclist who never drinks coffee so, when I'm lagging on the bike, popping one of these provides the necessary physiological (psychological?) boost.

Part of my anti-leg cramp routine

Antidotal or scientific, you be the judge. Since I've included the GU gel in my riding routine, I have not suffered from leg cramps and my riding energy level has been great. I like the variety of flavors, the ease of opening the packages, and the convenience of stuffing the empty ones in my shirt pocket. Other than occasional sticky fingers should I come in contact with any of the gel, I give GU gels high marks.

Thank you for your feedback.
