Hi Trevor!

I've tried a bunch of different things-- Accelerade, Endurox R4,
water, various Gatorades, Shots, Gu's. I had all sorts of problems--
cramping, gas, nausea, brightly colored pee...

Last year I was turned onto Hammer products. I use the gels,
Endurolytes (pills and powder) and HEED (powdered drink mix).

In the past I used to suffer from debilitating leg cramps near the
end of a ride -- especially over two hours -- and would continue post-
ride. I've found the Endurolytes to be very effective for preventing
muscle cramps and HEED to be very good for any rides and races (it
has a mix of carbs and electrolytes) over an hour or so. The larger
tubs of power are the most economical-- you can also toss in a little
extra powdered Endurolytes if you find you need it.

The best thing about HEED is that is has a very light flavor-- it's
not gross and cloying like many other products.

Local distributor Jeff Tedder is also very knowledgeable and helpful.

Good luck!

Brian J.
