Any reason? Or am I the only one ringing bells and whistles...<br /><br />@Nick I've taken gel before this while on a cycling tour. Did not like it at all. Now I only rely on plain water and isotonic drinks.

But you may still take one or two with you just in case. :)francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108973236751201272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252197520846896621.post-74464794308412202582012-12-13T23:59:03.371+08:002012-12-13T23:59:03.371+08:00Still the normal GU for me.

I'm eager to try Clif Shot but they're not available here :( Oh and unless it's a new brand, I don't take gels on training runs.Jamiehttp://www.jamiepang.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
