Gu isn't necessarily my favorite gel as I tend to prefer the more watery gels, but it's one I always have on hand because the value is decent and flavors are great.
Like product and use on my road bike rides
I like the gu for a snack on one hour rides
I typically have one just before I start riding; always have along to forestall the dreaded bonk.
A good boost on a 50 mile ride.
I use 2 Gu's and if I haven't eaten recently I have a Cliff Bar too.
That keeps my energy up on the last 45 min home stretch.
It tastes great and does the job. What more could I ask from an energy gel?
Gu has always given me a boost, the price gave me even more of a good boost
Of all of the energy gels, GU are consistently my favorite. I don't think they work any better or worse than anyone else's product. I just prefer the flavor and consistency of GU gels to the other options.
I like the cola mid- or immediately post-ride to ward off the bonk demons :)
I use this product as directed, taking 1 every 45 minutes during my rides. I prefer the ones with caffeine that my friend who is a personal trainer recommended. Helps to keep me fueled and stave off cramps.
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.
Good stuff
I rode across the country last year and lived on those gels. I tried them all and GU is the best. Great tastes and good consistency. Not too solid and not too liquid. Eat one every ten miles and the engine keeps going.
I usually buy the "Chocolate Outrage" version because, well, I like chocolate. I'm glad I tried the Tri-Berry . . . it goes down more easily (always need a good drink of water after the chocolate, and some after Tri-Berry, but less so) and the taste is just fine.
I fell an energy boost about 10 mins. after one of these on a 30 mile ride.
I always bought gu energy gel. Nothing else.
bought a box on sale, great fast energy gets me riding!
The numbers don't lie. Speed
Increased .7 mph while hawing this as directed.
I use it every ride. I thought coconut water was best. Maybe it is. But I'm so impressed with this stuff. I bought 2 big boxes.
I was doubtful at first but the numbers don't lie. My average speed increased .6 mph while using this stuff as directed. Taste great. The caffeine boost is nice. I always swore coconut water is best. But this with the coconut water seems to work great. I bought 2 big boxes of this stuff. I use it every ride.
Tasty with a spike of caffeine helps to finish strong on an endurance rides. They're my go to gel.
