But i wouldn't recomend completly relying on it to supply enough calories for a long ride. i didn't plan very well for ride and got stuck with about 10 miles out of 50 left in the ride with nothing but a bottle of accelerade, a headwind and absolutly no energy left. it took about an hour and a half to finish the ride. And yes, the gunk left in the bottle really sucks to clean out. accelerade is great. it helps quite a bit on long road rides.
