Lets face it, gels are never going to be entirely pleasant to use but I have been using the Torq stuff for some time now and it does an excellent job of trying. They are easy to use while cycling and don't require water although I like to drink some after anyway. I have never suffered any of the stomach issues that gels can cause either.

The smart cyclist will of course be taking on energy regularly but should you find you have gone on a little too long without recarbing, a few seconds sooking down the Torq gel allows you to keep powering on since it seems to kick in pretty much immediately. Genius.

I am happy to do endurance events powered only by the energy drink, the gels and a cereal bar just to combat a rumbling stomach and as someone who feels faint at the slightest hint of a drop in blood sugar that is really saying something.
