Put some of these in a zip-lock bag in your jersey pocket. In the event that you are racing or just too damn serious to stop, leave the bag unzipped.
$1.29 at the dollar store.Put some of these in a zip-lock bag in your jersey pocket. In the event that you are racing or just too damn serious to stop, leave the bag unzipped.
Did you accidentally buy the the Clif Bar Mini pack?
No, but I have seen those and thought they were just clif bar dog treats. Why would anybody go through the trouble of ripping 5 of those open when they could have just one clif bar?
This would be a good suggestion, except cookies take too much blood and oxygen to break down in your stomach. That is why Gu and Hammer Gel ect was created because they have (carbohydrates, sodium, electrolytes) in them that break down very quickly with minimal energy.Put some of these in a zip-lock bag in your jersey pocket.

I take a live chicken, a knife and a flint and steel.
nature created something similar... called honey. Way cheaper too.
And quite practical...you know...taking a bottle of honey on rides.
easy trick - get a plastic sandwich baggie, squirt some in one of the bottom corners. tie a knot in the bag so its sealed off. double bag it if you're worried about leakage. During a ride, easy to tear into. or use a knife or some manner of stabby poker to have at it.And quite practical...you know...taking a bottle of honey on rides.
Or ya know, just eat properly prior to riding. Morning rides I have oatmeal with honey. Afternoon, I'll have a peanut butter and honey sandwich.
Noted.
in your case, you could just slather some in your mustache, and have it drip into your mouth like an IV during the ride.Noted.
what kind of bar will help me not get so damn winded that I suck air like a shop vac?
Dollar Store FAIL.
No - those were created because someone realized weetods would pay exorbitant amounts of money for sugary goo in a little package.
People actually buy those things?
We must have a hundred of those packets that we've gotten for free at various events. I don't use them because they destroy my digestive system on rides.
I have 4 of them in my Camelback (no idea where I got themPeople actually buy those things?
) for "emergency use." I think they're at least 6 years old. God they're awful.
Well, stinger products are honey based. I do agree though. Honey is a superb source of energy.
But to make your idea better, you can use a gel flask instead of bagging honey like crack cocaine.
i just had a great idea. I can get syringes from work. remove needle, fill with honey. inject into mouth. brilliant!
I am sure you can get plenty of honey from all of the WASPS in corporate.
Buy these online:
For all of you ridemonkey metabolism experts out there, I would like you to read this link about why gu is better than cookies and honey.

On another note, somebody admits that they are too bloated to have an opinion!
You are very right. Clif bars are wayyy to heavy to eat while exercising. Btw, that berm in your avatar is super awesome.
OMG! The company that makes the overpriced $hit has an article on the science of how great it is! Who would have guessed?!?!?
edit: also, wasps don't make honey, so whatever attempt you were trying to make of a witty analogy is DOA.

The hell you say!
I would have to say that all possible topics of discussion were evaluated and discussed in this thread. I am now super educated about the size of clif bars.
I would also like to post this picture of jonKranked...
To further elaborate on this picture, jonKranked is an annoying troll cat, that has just about had it with everybody's BS. I would like to let jonKranked know that his off topic "I am more right than you are" jargon is really only tolerated amongst other troll cats that have just about had it with everybody's BS.

I had to google them. We don't do all this mid-ride snacking faggotry in trials and DJ.
Having been a test monkey when they were still pro-typing the stuff, I definitely noticed the difference. I was also given a burnt batch of orange that gave me ****s for a few days. It was brutal.OMG! The company that makes the overpriced $hit has an article on the science of how great it is! Who would have guessed?!?!?
This post only further proves my point.
start a garbage thread, get garbage responses. why are you surprised?
Not a Clif employee (but probably could/should be at this point). Sizing hasn't change to the best of my knowledge since I've been involved with the program. Our packaging has been "revamped" and new flavors created. I'm personally a HUGE fan of Mojo bars and wish they would come in mini packs (I don't like to eat a whole bar all at once...especially when I am on the bike).
Yes, I am biased but I LOVE Clif as a company and I enjoy their products as well (though they keep cutting the ones I love the most -- oh how I long for my Crisp Apple Electrolyte).
