When I do hard interval sessions or before a race, I like to use liquid energy gel bars. They can be a bit messy in your back pocket, but, they provide the necessary energy quickly and in an easily digestible form. On slower steady rides will tend to stick to cheaper muesli bars for energy
High 5 Energy Gel Bars
One of my favourite energy gel bars is high 5 Gel Bars. They are relatively cheap and have a good concentration of energy. 38grams pure carbohydrate. Not overly sweet.
They are also quite cheap. At Probike Kit you can buy them for £0.80 each, which is good value for energy foods.
High 5 Energy Gel Bars 4 different flavours.
Taste is a personal thing, but, I prefer the Citrus flavour
If you prefer you can choose the energy bars with caffeine.
- High 5 Energy Gel Bars with caffeine.
I would not advise using caffeine during training.
