I don't like the Melon flavor but that's about it. I have been doing longer rides and in South Texas it gets 110 in the shade during the summer! I love Clif Bars (White Choc. Macadam.) and need to discipline myself by taking only 2!! I’ve been using HEED for awhile and have been satisfied so far. I don’t like the Melon flavor but that’s about it.

It only takes sugar, salt, water and some flavoring such as lemon juice. Now that's cheap! I mix my own with great results. I pack a concentrate for extra-long trips and just add water to fill my containers. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches take the place of expensive bars.

Everyone has different preferences in sports drinks. Sharing is a great idea. Have you tried Accelerade Hydro? It has a lighter taste than Accelerade (some say better). It's also low in calories and protein. Definitely not a fattening choice. I like your sports tip! Everyone has different preferences in sports drinks. Sharing is a great idea.
