I'm very particular about pre-ride nutrition - what I eat, how much and when. Couple that with my average ride length of an hour or so and there's not a lot of reason for me to eat on the bike.
But when I do, I grab myself a Clif Bar. Of all the bars I've tried, Clif is the easiest to open and chew while riding. That alone would catapult it to the top of my choice set. But after sampling a dozen or so flavors I tried Carrot Cake and never looked back. It's the sleeper hit of Clif Bar flavors.
Does anybody eat Power Bar anymore? Seriously - anybody? I remember eating them when they came onto the market 20+ years ago. On hot days, guys would cut them up and stick them on their (steel) frame tubes like magic putty, peeling them off in pieces to eat during a race. I remember also being a lot faster back then. And 20 lbs lighter. And knowing how to climb. Ah, youth.
It should be pointed out that the Clif Shot in mocha contains 50mg of caffeine, and the Accel Gel in chocolate with caffeine contains only 20mg of the good stuff.
Ah, but have you tried Blueberry Crisp?
